The Dallas Stars snapped a six-game losing streak with a solid 4-1 win over the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night. Radek Faksa scored a short-handed goal early, Casey DeSmith stopped 23 shots in net, and the Stars finally got some breathing room after. Struggling lately, just over three minutes into the game, Faksa cast in on his own rebound while Ilya Lubushkin sat for holding.
Then in the second period, Thomas Harley set up Sam Steele for a tap-in at the net. Later, Steele assisted Wyatt Johnston's 24th goal of the season with 6 minutes 29 seconds left, and Rup Hintz added an empty netter to seal it with 18.6 seconds to go.
What key moments led to the Dallas Stars' victory over the Capitals?
The Stars were bouncing back from a rough 6-3 loss to Carolina the night before, where their usual goalie Jake Odinger got pulled. This win was their first since December 21st, and it showed some grit from the whole team. Over on the capital side, Alex Ovechkin notched his 915th career goal, adding to his NHL record at age 40. That's his 18th of the season. Logan Thompson took the loss, allowing three goals on 36 shots, and Washington was missing injured forwards Tom Wilson and Aliakse Protas. The Caps have now lost three of their last four and six of nine overall after beating Anaheim 7-4 on Monday. Up next, Dallas heads to San Jose on Saturday for a four-game Western trip while Washington visits Chicago on Friday night.
