shots in a top-rate goaltending battle.

and won for the 10th time in 11 games thanks to Kuemper, who
posted his third shutout of the season and the 28th of his
career. Marcus Johansson, Erik Gustafsson and Lars Eller scored
for the Capitals.
New York lost for the second time in three games following a
