Ovechkin-less Capitals stop Panthers, 4-1
Washington came into its game against the Florida Panthers without its star player and left with even more injuries. In between, the beat-up Capitals found a way to finally come away with a win. Jose Theodore stopped 28 shots, Brendan Morrison scored twice and the Capitals beat the Panthers, 4-1, on Friday night to break a three-game losing streak. Brian Pothier had a goal and two assists, and Tyler Sloan added a goal for the Capitals (9-3-4) in the opening contest of home-and-home series with the Panthers.
