The Washington Capitals wrapped up their three-game homestand on a sour note, dropping a 4-1 decision to the Dallas Stars on Wednesday night.

Dallas had been mired in a brutal 0-6-6 skid over their last 12 games, but they snapped it in style. The Stars have always given Washington fits, including a 1-0 shutout back on October 28th. The game got away early with a shorthanded goal from Roddick Foxa on the power play.

Then Sam Steele tipped one in during 4-on-4 action. A bad pass from Anthony Bouvier led to Wyatt Johnston's tally for a 3-0 lead, and Rup Hintz added an empty netter late. Alex Ovechkin provided the only spark for the Caps, ribbing a one-timer on 6-on-5 with over two minutes left to spoil the shutout. That's his 18th goal this season and 9-15 for his career.

Showing the 40-year-old great eight still has it. Looking ahead, the Caps hit the road for two games, starting with a rematch against Chicago on Friday. They'll hope for better puck management after 24 turnovers and being outshot 36-24, especially with Tom Wilson and Aliakse Protaz nearing returns. Support for this episode comes from our sponsor.
