DEVS FALL AGAIN

Garnet Hathaway and Daniel Sprong scored in the opening 5:06, the streaking Washington Capitals built a big lead and held off the slumping Devils 5-2 in Newark.

Nic Dowd added an empty-net goal with less than a minute to play for Washington, 5-1-1 in its last seven after losing four straight.

Nico Hischier and Pavel Zacha each scored for the second consecutiv­e game for the Devils, who have lost four of five. Mackenzie Blackwood had 19 saves as the Devils opened a five-game homestand.

MORIKAWA LEADS

PGA champion Collin Morikawa made seven birdies in an eight-hole stretch Saturday and made it look as though no one could catch him. All it took was two bad holes to turn the Workday Open into a chase.

Morikawa shot a 5-under 67 at the Concession Golf Club, a reasonable score except for what it could have been. When he drove to the front of the green on the 316-yard 12th hole and made an 8-foot birdie, he was at 17-under par and no one else was closer than five shots.

He wound up leading by two shots over Brooks Koepka, who shot 70, and Billy Horschel. who had a 69.

Rory McIlroy shot 66, including an eagle on the par-5 13th and is just four shots behind.

Morikawa was at 15-under 201.
