Matthew Phillips scored against his old team, Darcy Kuemper made 38 saves in regulation and overtime and three more in the shootout to help the Washington Capitals beat the Calgary Flames 3-2 on Monday night for their first win of the season.
Evgeny Kuznetsov scored the only goal in the shootout to cap the rally from down 2-0, which started in the second period when Phillips scored his first NHL goal. The 5-foot-7, 140-pound winger also assisted on Connor McMichael’s goal that tied it three minutes later.
Phillips, a 2016 sixth-round pick of the Flames who spent seven years in their organization, was one of the most dynamic players on the ice. After playing just four games for Calgary, this was his second for Washington after surprisingly making the team out of training camp.
