Goal Leads Vokoun Against Slot

Hockey Betting Lines

Washington, which had dropped four of five overall coming in, welcomed Alex Ovechkin back to the lineup as it pulled to within one point of idle Florida for the top spot in the Southeast Division. Ovechkin had been suspended for three games for an illegal hit on Pittsburgh's Zbynek Michalek on Jan. 22 and logged a shot and three hits in just under 20 minutes of ice time.

 

The Bruins took three of four from the Capitals a season ago, but Washington drew first blood in this year's four-game series with a 5-3 home win on Jan. 24 that featured the first hat trick of Mathieu Perreault's career.

 

Boston has lost two straight and seven of its past nine in Washington.

 

Henrik Lundqvist, who had posted shutouts in his previous two starts, allowed two goals on 23 shots in the win.

 

Newark, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ilya Kovalchuk had a goal and two assists on Sunday, leading the Devils to a 5-2 win over the Penguins. Kovalchuk now has 10 points in his last four games -- all New Jersey victories. Zach Parise had a goal and an assist on Sunday while Anton Volchenkov and Dainius Zubrus also found the back of the net. Martin Brodeur made 28 saves and added an assist on David Clarkson's empty netter.

 

Marc-Andre Fleury was coming off a 28-save performance against the Bruins, but was pulled Sunday after allowing three goals on 12 shots. Brent Johnson made 11 saves in his stead.

 

Marcus Johansson scored the lone goal for the Capitals, who have lost three of four. Tomas Vokoun gave up three goals on 29 shots in the loss.

 

The second period passed without a goal as Thomas made 10 stops and Vokoun turned aside nine, but the Bruins made it a 3-0 game just 6:38 into the third.

 

Washington got on the board with 7:56 to play when Johansson scored on a sharp angle shot from the left side on a rush play.

 

However, that was as close as it got and Peverley scored into the empty net with under a minute to play to seal the win.
