OVECHKIN BEATS RED WINGS IN OT

DETROIT» Alex Ovechkin’s power-play goal at 1:56 of overtime gave the Capitals a 4-3 victory over the Red Wings on Friday.

T.J. Oshie forced the extra session for the Capitals, tying it with 1:01 left in regulation with a power-play goal of his own. Ovechkin drew a tripping penalty on Trevor Daley in overtime, then won it with his 10th goal of the season — a familiar slap shot from the left circle that beat Petr Mrazek to the glove side.

Tomas Tatar scored twice in the third period for Detroit. His second goal came on the power play after John Carlson was called for delay of game. But Dylan Larkin was whistled for the same penalty toward the end of the period, and Oshie tied it at 3 with Caps goalie Braden Holtby pulled.
