Caps Secure Win, Ovechkin Ties Howe

It's March 19th, here's your NHL news in two minutes.

The Washington Capitals picked up a solid 4-1 win over the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday

night at Capitol One Arena.

Logan Thompson was sharpened net with 34 saves while rookie Cole Hudson lit the lamp in

his NHL debut for the caps.

Alex Ovechkin, Tom Wilson, and Aliakse Protas also scored to seal the victory.

Ovechkin notched his 20th career 25 goal season, tying Gordy Howe for the most in league

history and picked up his 900, 99 combined regular season and playoff goal just one shy of

a major milestone.

Both teams are in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff chase.

The capitals sit six points back for the second wildcard spot with a record of 34 wins,

27 losses, and 8 overtime losses.

Fans were buzzing about the team's momentum heading into the stretch run.

Meanwhile, the Senators had been on a roll, winning five of their last six gains before

this setback.

Tim Stutz will got their only goal, and Linus Oldmark stopped 21 shots, but they remained

five points out of that same wildcard position with a 34-24-9 mark.

Hudson, a second round pick from the 2024 draft, wrapped up his college season at Boston

University and signed a three-year entry-level deal just days before jumping to the pros.

This win keeps the capitals fighting as the regular season winds down.
