Ovechkin Hat Trick Gives Capitals 4-3 Road Win Against Wild

(AP) — Alex Ovechkin scored three times in the second period for his 14th career hat trick, and the Washington Capitals beat the Minnesota Wild 4-3 on Thursday night. Wild coach Mike Yeo challenged that the puck had left the zone for offsides, but the call stood after a review showed that Backstrom stopped the puck before it crossed the blue line. Three minutes later, Ovechkin scored on the power play when a point shot bounced off the end boards right to Ovechkin in front of the net. Washington had one power play in its previous six games, an empty-netter for the only goal in its previous 20 power-play chances.
