Boston, MA (Sports Network) - The Stanley Cup will be hoisted by a different team this season.

Joel Ward's goal 2:57 into overtime gave Washington a 2-1 win over Boston in Game 7 of this Eastern Conference quarterfinal series.

Mike Knuble blocked a Benoit Pouliot dump-in and brought the puck into the Boston end down the left wing. He crashed the net and got a backhand hand that Tim Thomas stopped. The puck, though, came back out and Ward was there to backhand the rebound in for the win and series victory.
