[February 23, 2012]  OTTAWA (AP) -- Erik Karlsson and Milan Michalek each had three points Wednesday and the Ottawa Senators defeated the Washington Capitals 5-2.

HardwareKarlsson finished with a goal and two assists to set a new franchise record for assists by a defenseman in a season with 47.

The 21-year-old now has seven points in his last two games. His 60 points on the season give him a 20-point lead on Florida's Brian Campbell for the NHL lead in scoring by a defenseman.

Michalek added two goals and an assist, while Chris Phillips, with his fourth goal in six games, also scored for Ottawa. Craig Anderson made 33 saves.
