Watch: Capitals' Wilson saves goal, then scores in same shift

Tom Wilson just had the shift of a lifetime.

At one end, Wilson swiped out a puck from the goal line that squeaked through goaltender Braden Holtby. Later in the same shift in the offensive end, Wilson tipped a Lars Eller shot to give the Washington Capitals a 3-1 lead.

He wasn't done just yet, though.

A little over two minutes later, Wilson, who had just seven goals during the regular season, scored again to give the Caps a 4-1 lead.

Wilson is also responsible for clinching the Game 1 victory for Washington, as he netted the OT winner. The Toronto native has clearly saved his best hockey for the team he grew up rooting for.
