The victory continued the Capitals' recent
string of success against Boston. Washington now is 16-1-0 in
its past 17 games versus the Bruins. The Capitals became the
first team in the NHL to go over 50 points, with 51 through 33
games.
Goalie Braden Holtby continued his career-long string of success
against Boston, improving to 18-3-0. He finished with 30 saves.

Avalanche 3, Flyers 1
Mikko Rantanen scored two goals, Pavel Francouz had 32 saves,
and Colorado beat Philadelphia in Denver.
Matt Calvert also scored to lead the Avalanche to their seventh
win in the last eight games.
Claude Giroux had a goal, and Carter Hart stopped 24 shots for
Philadelphia. The Flyers were without their leading scorer,
forward Travis Konecny, who sustained a concussion in the 4-3
win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.
Canadiens 3, Senators 2 (OT)
Ben Chiarot's goal 1:11 into overtime gave Montreal a win over
visiting Ottawa. It was the first overtime winner of Chiarot's
six-year NHL career, and the goal snapped a 15-game scoreless
drought for the defenseman.
Montreal has won four of its last five games, including its past
three in a row. Nick Cousins and Tomas Tatar scored goals for
the Canadiens, but the Senators got the game to overtime thanks
to third-period tallies from Brady Tkachuk and Connor Brown.
Playing in his second game for the Canadiens, rookie goalie
Cayden Primeau earned his first NHL victory by saving 35 of 37
shots. Senators goaltender Anders Nilsson made 26 saves.
