Logan Thompson backstops Capitals to 2-1 win over the Devils
WASHINGTON (AP) --- Logan Thompson made 30 saves, losing his shutout bid with
just 43 seconds remaining, and the Washington Capitals beat the New Jersey
Devils 2-1 on Friday night.
Ryan Leonard scored midway through the first period, and Aliaksei Protas added
an empty-netter with 1:43 remaining.
Jesper Bratt scored for the Devils, extending his point streak with three goals
and four assists over his last seven games. Jake Allen stopped 26 shots.
It was the third meeting between the teams and the first that didn't require
extra time. The Devils beat the Capitals in a 3-2 shootout win on Nov. 15, but
lost 4-3 in overtime on Dec. 27. Thompson and Allen covered the net in all
three games. They will conclude their season series on April 2 in Newark.
