The Washington Capitals defeated the Anaheim Ducks in a shootout on Monday, which was their first overtime or shootout win of the season. Before this, they were 0 for 5 in overtime and 0-1 in shootouts. The Caps are also happy to have T.J. Oshie back. The forward has played consecutive games for the first time since October. He recorded an assist on Monday which was his first point since Nov. 20 against the San Jose Sharks. His return bolsters the Caps' top six which has been extremely thin this season.
Alex Ovechkin recorded two assists against Anaheim, marking his 115th career multi-assist game.
