Blue Jackets snap skid, end Capitals' winning streak at six | |
WASHINGTON (AP) Because the Washington Capitals don't lose very often, they'll try to take something from a letdown game against the Columbus Blue Jackets rather than just burning the video. Fresh off sweeping a four-game road trip, the NHL-leading Capitals fell flat in a 5-2 loss Monday night that snapped their winning streak at six. Washington hadn't lost in regulation since Nov. 20. The Capitals' seven-game point streak came to an end two days before facing the Boston Bruins in a showdown of the league's top two teams. MORE | |
