Caps report

Last night at Verizon Center:

OVECHKIN WATCH

Alex Ovechkin’s assist in the second period gave him points in 10 straight games, extending the best streak of his rookie season.

BY THE NUMBERS

21 Goals this season for Dainius Zubrus after he scored his two goals. Zubrus’ previous high in his nine-year career was 17 with the Caps in 2001-02.

QUOTABLE

“You’d better take a nap so I don’t have to score three goals tonight.”
