RALEIGH Adidas Luke Schenn Jersey , N.C. (AP) — Alex Ovechkin scored goals in bunches once again — until the shootout. Then it was up to Jakub Vrana to clinch an important victory for the Washington Capitals.The three-time MVP had his second consecutive hat trick, Vrana scored in the sixth round of the tiebreaker and the Capitals beat the Carolina Hurricanes 6-5 on Friday night.Ovechkin’s three goals gave him an NHL-best 28 this season and nine in his last five games. His 13-game point streak matched his career high set in 2006-07.“I don’t know what to say — I just try to do my job,” Ovechkin said. “Everybody tries to score goals, everybody wants to score goals. In this league, it’s hard to do that. I feel like I play with great players. They set me up, and I just have to do my job.”Tom Wilson and Travis Boyd also scored for the defending Stanley Cup champions, who have won 11 of 13. The Metropolitan Division leaders got three goals in a 5:42 span of the second to tie it at 4, a burst capped when Boyd redirected in John Carlson’s shot with 1:41 left in the period. It was the Capitals’ largest deficit overcome in a victory this season.“You still have to figure out how you’re going to win with the group that we presently have in the locker room, and obviously the majority of our roster was part of what we were able to accomplish last year, so you have a little bit of I’d say equity on that one,” coach Todd Reirden said. “At the end of the day Adidas Brian Gibbons Jersey , you have to find ways to do it with a new group in there, and we’re doing it with a four-line attack.”Justin Williams scored the tying goal with 6:12 remaining, and Sebastian Aho had two goals and two assists for Carolina.Teuvo Teravainen had a goal and two assists and Jordan Martinook also scored for the Hurricanes, who had three power-play goals but have lost three straight and six of seven. They have allowed 15 goals — not including the tiebreaker in this one — during their last three losses.Dougie Hamilton and Nicklas Backstrom both scored in the fourth round of the shootout. After Braden Holtby stopped Brock McGinn in the sixth round, Vrana ended it with a wrist shot to Scott Darling’s glove side.Holtby finished with 22 saves for the Capitals. Darling made 24 stops in his first start with Carolina since Nov. 24.Ovechkin put Washington up 5-4 with 10:11 remaining, blasting a one-timer from the left circle past Darling on the power play, before his former teammate with the Capitals — Williams — tied it nearly four minutes later with a backhand.Ovechkin also scored on Washington’s first shot of the game, another one-timer from the circle at 3:56 of the first. His second goal came with some controversy, with the Hurricanes unsuccessfully clamoring for an interference penalty on Jonas Siegenthaler for his hit on Hamilton that cleared the way for the Capitals’ captain.“The game turned on that play,” said Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour, who said an official told him he didn’t see interference. “Then the momentum got going Adidas Carter Rowney Jersey , and they cranked it up.”Aho, who scored on a short-handed breakaway in the first, had his third career four-point game and extended his point streak to four games. He has 15 points (seven goals, eight assists) in nine career games against Washington, and he and Teravainen scored power-play goals 2:02 apart in the second period that seemingly put Carolina in control.Aho scored his second goal on a one-time rocket that got by Holtby, making it 3-1 at 4:39, and Wilson — in his first game back from a concussion that cost him three games — took an interference penalty for blind-siding Andrei Svechnikov with his shoulder 24 seconds later. Teravainen then made it a three-goal game with his wrist shot from the circle at 6:41.“We had plenty of time,” Ovechkin said. “We just had to play our game.”NOTES: Washington C Nic Dowd had a career-high three assists, and Carlson had two. … The Capitals have scored at least three goals in 13 straight games. … Carolina has allowed at least four goals in four of its last five games. … Wilson and Ovechkin both rang the post. … Siegenthaler set up Ovechkin’s first goal for his first NHL point.UP NEXTCapitals: Visit Buffalo on Saturday night.Hurricanes: Host Arizona on Sunday. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Buffalo Sabres coach Phil Housley had to shake things up, shuffling his lines against the Los Angeles Kings an effort to revive an offense that was held to one goal in three of the past four games.The moves paid off, especially the new first line of Jeff Skinner Adidas Jaycob Megna Jersey , Jason Pominville and Jack Eichel.Skinner scored three goals for his fifth career hat trick and the Sabres’ reconfigured top line keyed a 5-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday.Pominville had a goal and two assists for his 700th career point, and Eichel added three assists as he centered Skinner and Pominville for the first time.“I think that’s the spark we’ve been looking for,” said Zach Bogosian, who also scored.Linus Ullmark made 19 saves for Buffalo.Drew Doughty had a goal and Jonathan Quick made 21 saves for the Kings, who lost their fourth straight game. Quick has allowed 10 goals on 54 shots in two starts since returning from a lower-body injury.Skinner put the Sabres ahead 2-0 at 3:31 of the second period and made it 3-0 with 4:08 left in the middle period. Pominville got his milestone point with a secondary assist on Skinner’s second goal.Pominville is the third member of the 2001 draft class to reach the 700-point mark, joining Ilya Kovalchuk and Jason Spezza.“A guy that plugs away every day, as professional as he is, he’s a good example for the younger players and seeing him get rewarded with 700, that’s awesome for him,” Bogosian said.Bogosian scored with 15 seconds left in the second, the eighth straight goal allowed by the Kings in 56:40 of game time after giving up four goals in the third period of a 7-2 loss to the New York Islanders on Thursday.Doughty got the Kings on the scoreboard with 7:44 left in the third. It was Los Angeles’ third power-play goal in two games after starting the season 0 for 22 Adidas Max Jones Jersey , but little else has gone right for them recently.Outscored 21-5 during their current losing streak, the Kings held a closed-door meeting that lasted nearly 20 minutes after their latest defeat.Kings defenseman Jake Muzzin said the team did not have “enough passion and fire to win games right now.“We’ve accepted being okay. It’s not okay. It’s not working. It’s going to be a long year, guys will be moved if this continues,” Muzzin said.The Sabres were more than happy to take advantage of the Kings’ struggles, with Skinner completing his first hat trick since Dec. 15, 2015, with an empty-netter with 25 seconds remaining.The Sabres took a 1-0 lead at 10:24 of the first. Pominville scored on the rebound of a shot by Eichel. The goal withstood a review after the Kings challenged for interference as Pominville’s stick and skate made contact with Quick’s right leg as the goalie was sprawled on the ice.“It was great that it worked out,” Housley said of his new first line, “but I think if you looked throughout all the lines they all contributed in one way or another.”NOTES: The Sabres had nine players with a point and 13 players with a plus-1 rating or better. . Sabres D Jake McCabe had an assist to extend his point streak to three games. … Kings LW Alex Iafallo had an assist for the third straight game, a new career-high.UP NEXTSabres: Wrap up their five-game road trip at Anaheim on Sunday.Kings: Open a two-game road trip at Dallas on Tuesday.
