NHL roundup: Golden Knights beats Caps on Tuch goal

[February 05, 2018]  Alex Tuch scored with 5:12 remaining to give the Vegas Golden Knights a 4-3 victory over the Washington Capitals in a battle of division leaders Sunday afternoon in Washington.

Tuch approached from goalie Philipp Grubauer's right and got off a weak shot that Grubauer couldn't control, and the puck slid through the crease and just over the line inside the right post.

The victory put Vegas goalie Marc-Andre Fleury (20 saves) into 13th place on the all-time wins list (390), moving him past Dominik Hasek.

Washington's Barry Trotz passed Lindy Ruff for fifth place on the NHL's all-time games coached list. Trotz now has coached 1,494 games.

Canadiens 4, Senators 1

Artturi Lehkonen scored twice, including the eventual winning goal midway through the second period to pace host Montreal past Ottawa.

Carey Price made 25 saves to record Montreal's second consecutive win.

Lehkonen's only two previous goals of the season came in a game against the Senators in October.

 

Sharks 3, Hurricanes 1

Brent Burns supplied a goal and an assist as San Jose won at Carolina.

Timo Meier and Chris Tierney also scored for the Sharks, who won their second game in a row after losing four straight.

San Jose goalie Aaron Dell stopped 29 shots in improving his record to 13-4-3 this season.

The Sharks are 2-1-1 four games into a five-game road trip.
