  "account": "Alex Tuch scored two goals, including the game-winning overtime goal, as the Washington Capitals edged out the Buffalo Sabres 4-3 on Saturday night. Tuch opened the scoring for Washington when a pass ricocheted off Tage Thompson's stick and into the back of the net. Dylan Strome added two goals, notching his second of the night with 2:36 remaining in the second period. The 22-year-old winger was acquired by the Capitals this summer in a sign-and-trade deal from the Sabres, bolstering the team's offensive capabilities with an eight-year, $84 million contract.\n\nJack Quinn and Josh Doan scored early for Buffalo, giving the Sabres an early two-goal lead. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 30 saves for the Sabres in a back-and-forth contest that saw multiple power play opportunities for both teams. Charlie Lindgren made 18 saves for the Capitals. The Capitals, who were recently winless against the previously winless Los Angeles Kings, looked much more complete after a three-day break that brought Pierre Luc-Dubois and Justin Sourdif back into the lineup. Buffalo has now lost three consecutive games and sits with just three points in their last five games. The Capitals will face the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday.",
