Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Alex Ovechkin got his first post-suspension
points, scoring two goals Tuesday night to lead the Washington Capitals over
the Florida Panthers, 4-0.
Washington moved one point ahead of Florida for first place in the Southeast
Division.
Tomas Vokoun made 42 saves for his fourth shutout of the season and 48th of
his career. Mathieu Perreault and Jason Chimera also scored for the Capitals,
who moved to 3-3-2 in their last eight games.
The Panthers beat the Capitals at home last Wednesday, 4-2, to take the
division lead but couldn't solve Vokoun in this one. Scott Clemmensen gave up
four goals on 24 shots and Florida lost for the ninth time in its last 13
games (4-5-4).
