Ovechkin, Holtby team up to lead Capitals past Canucks 3-0
WASHINGTON — Alex Ovechkin ended a scoring drought, reached another milestone and — most importantly — helped the Washington Capitals notch their fourth straight victory.
Ovechkin scored a power-play goal in the first period and Braden Holtby made it stand up, stopping 20 shots to carry the Capitals past the weary Vancouver Canucks 3-0 on Sunday night.
Washington nursed a 1-0 lead until Ovechkin earned an assist on a goal by Justin Williams with just under 15 minutes left.
