Goalkeeper Jonas Johansson defended Yıldırım’s goal; Russian goalkeeper Andrei Vasilevski, who was included in the squad for the match, was not on the ice.
Tampa’s Russian forward Nikita Kucherov could not score and his winning streak was interrupted.

Ovechkin’s previous record did not save “Dallas” from defeat to “Washington”
