Lars Eller, Alex Ovechkin (power play; that's him celebrating after scoring), and Brooks Orpit each scored once on Wednesday as the Washington Capitals leveled the Stanley Cup Final at one game apiece after their 3-2 game-two road win over the Vegas Golden Knights.

After having been swept by Detroit in their previous appearance in the Final (1998) and having dropped the opener this year, the victory was the first in the NHL's championship series for the Capitals.
