Tom Wilson fought Brady Tkachuk late in the first period, scored on the power play in the second and assisted on Martin Fehervary’s goal in the third to help the Washington Capitals end their season-worst losing streak at three games by beating the Ottawa Senators 5-4 in a shootout.

The Capitals scored four times in the the third period, including twice short-handed, as they rallied to beat the Red Wings for their third straight victory.

On Monday night, the Washington Capitals blew a three-goal advantage to the Ottawa Senators before prevailing 5-4 in a shootout.  The Capitals scored twice to get Capital One Arena rocking early.

It was a game that shouldn’t have gone to OT in the first place, but Ottawa is a team fighting for its playoff lives right now, so the battle wasn’t a surprise. What was a surprise was Washington allowing the Senators back into the game twice after coming out to start with a lot of spark.

Alex Ovechkin pulls within 10 goals of breaking the most hallowed record in hockey and Tom Wilson scores in OT to lift the Capitals over the Rangers.

Dylan Strome scored the winner in the third round of the shootout and Pierre-Luc Dubois had a goal and two assists as the host Washington Capitals snapped a season-worst three-game losing streak with a 5-4 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Monday.

The Washington Capitals are back in action at Capital One Arena, playing host to the Detroit Red Wings after a relatively quiet NHL Trade Deadline Day.
