William Eklund scored 39 seconds into overtime, Mackenzie Blackwood made 27 saves and the San Jose Sharks ended the Washington Capitals ' winning streak at four by beating them 2-1 on Tuesday night.The Capitals fell to 4-2-1 since captain and leading goal-scorer Alex Ovechkin was sidelined by a broken left fibula. They fell behind early and failed to make it five comeback victories in a row, despite Logan Thompson making 29 saves and Nic Dowd scoring his seventh goal of the season.
The top pick in the draft has four goals and four assists during this stretch.Sharks: They were far more prepared from the drop of the puck, and that paid off with Toffoli's goal. Coach Ryan Warsofsky's young, rebuilding team built some good habits that should benefit them in the long run.Capitals: On a positive note, they did not allow four or more goals, as they have in the past three games.
