HORNQVIST HAS TWO POINTS IN SEASON DEBUT

WASHINGTON» Patric Hornqvist scored a power-play goal and assisted on another in his season debut to help the Penguins beat the Capitals 3-2 on Wednesday night in their first meeting since the playoffs.

Hornqvist assisted on a goal by Kris Letang, the defenseman’s first since Feb. 4 after missing the end of last season and playoffs because of a neck surgery. Hornqvist, who scored the Stanley Cup-clinching goal last spring despite a broken finger on his right hand, was playing for the first time since offseason surgery to repair it.

WEDNESDAY’S HIGHLIGHTS

Brian Gibbons had a rare 3-on-5 goal, Miles Wood and Pavel Zacha each scored twice and the unbeaten Devils beat Toronto 6-3 to end the Maple Leafs’ perfect start.
