For the third time in three meetings, the Capitals and Senators went to overtime. This time, the Caps prevailed and snapped a three-game losing streak.

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.

WASHINGTON -- Aliaksei Protas had two goals and an assist in the third period to help the Washington Capitals rally to defeat the Detroit Red Wings 5-2 at Capital One Arena on Friday. The 24-year-old has 25 goals in 63 games after scoring six in 78 games last season.

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.
