WASHINGTON (AP) – The Washington Capitals avoided losing for the sixth time in their last eight games. Alex Ovechkin’s power-play goal with 4:04 remaining lifted the Caps past the Devils, 4-3. Ovechkin’s tally gave Washington a 4-2 lead, but New Jersey got within a goal when Nikita Gusev beat Craig Anderson with 11.9 seconds left.  T.J. Oshie scored twice to end his nine-game goal drought and help Anderson pick up his first start and first victory since March.
