Capitals win their 14th in a row
Washington — Neither snow nor ice nor a three-goal deficit could keep Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals from stunning their archrivals and winning a 14th straight game.
Ovechkin scored three goals and got the assist on the winning goal in overtime Sunday, and the Capitals kept up their pursuit of NHL history with a 5-4 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Mike Knuble poked in the rebound 2:49 into overtime after Ovechkin’s shot hit the post during a power play.
Washington’s winning streak is tied for the third-longest in league history. The Penguins won 17 in a row in 1993.
