WASHINGTON — The Washington Capitals return home from a successful four-game trip to host the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday night.Washington (10-7-3) won three of four games on the road despite injuries to goalie Braden Holtby and top-six forwards Evgeny Kuznetsov and T.J. Oshie along the way.Holtby missed three games and was slated to make his return against the Blackhawks Riley Nash Jersey Womens , but when the Montreal Canadiens scored three goals in 75 seconds Monday night against Phoenix Copley, coach Todd Reirden inserted Holtby.Article continues below ...He stopped all 22 shots he faced and the Capitals rallied from a 4-2 second-period deficit for a 5-4 win on Lars Eller’s overtime goal.“I thought (Holtby) was great when he came in,” Reirden told the team’s website. “He looked really solid; he really settled things down for us and changed the momentum of the game. That’s what you have to do sometimes.”Washington, which has won two straight games in overtime, is home for two games sandwiched around Thanksgiving with the Detroit Red Wings visiting Friday.Kuznetsov and Oshie are day to day with upper-body injuries. Washington announced Tuesday that 38-year-old defenseman Brooks Orpik, who has missed 10 games, underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee and he will miss four to six weeks.Orpik’s absence has meant more time for second-year defenseman Madison Bowey Martin Hanzal Jersey Womens , who has three assists in his last five games. The 23-year-old Bowey played in 51 games as a rookie last season but was not in the lineup during the Stanley Cup run.Bowey told the Washington Post that sitting out taught him to focus on playing his game rather than worrying about making a mistake.“Now I’m just free-spirited. I’m making sure I come to the rink ready and I’m focused, and I’m prepared,” Bowey told the Post. “I have confidence in myself and in my game because I know the coaching staff does. I think that’s why I’m definitely feeling much better this year than I did last year.”The Blackhawks (8-8-5) play seven of their next nine games on the road. They’ll travel south to play the Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers this weekend before heading back home for a game.“It’ll be a fun trip,” Blackhawks coach Jeremy Colliton told the Chicago Tribune. “Another measuring stick. I thought Sunday (against the Minnesota Wild) was a measuring stick against one of the top teams in the conference to see how we could handle it.“We’ll take it one game at a time. But it goes back to us. If we take care of our own performance, I believe we’ll have a chance to win.”Corey Crawford made a season-high 39 saves against the Wild. He has allowed two regulation goals in the past three games.“Overall, I think I’ve felt great,” Crawford told NHL.com. “I felt good in every game and just got to battle and work to be good. I’ve felt good so far Anton Khudobin Jersey Womens , but I felt our guys did a really good job of helping out in front of the net.”Jonathan Toews had a goal and an assist against the Wild and Patrick Kane had two assists for the Blackhawks, who are 2-0-2 in their past four games despite scoring just seven goals.Crawford is 3-4-2 with a 3.54 goals-against average and .884 save percentage against the Capitals.Holtby is 7-3 with a 2.67 GAA and a .918 save percentage versus the Blackhawks. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jonathan Quick and the Los Angeles Kings are going into their 11-day break with a bit of momentum.The Kings rallied for a 4-3 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Monday and are 3-1-1 in their last five games. Quick stopped 33 shots to earn his 302nd NHL victory, which is fourth-best among U.S.-born goaltenders.Quick passed Mike Richter, the longtime New York Ranger whom he followed as a kid in Milford, Connecticut.“It’s a cool milestone but we’re just trying to get back in the playoff race,” said Quick, who was the second-fastest American goalie to reach 300 wins.Los Angeles lost 7-1 to Colorado on Saturday and was down 2-0 late in the first period to the Blues before rallying.The game was tied at 3 before Paul LaDue scored midway through the third period. The defenseman Wade Megan Jersey Womens , who was playing in only his 15th game this season and first since Dec. 29, snapped a wrist shot from the right faceoff circle past Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington for his second goal of the season.It was only the second time this season and first since Oct. 28 against the Rangers that the Kings have won after trailing by two goals.“Maybe not the start that we wanted, but we battled back,” said Anze Kopitar, who had a goal and an assist. “I mean even the first period we were down, but we generated quite a few chances, just couldn’t connect on them. But we stuck with it and at the end of the day got the job done.”Tyler Toffoli had a goal and an assist while Brendan Leipsic had two assists. Drew Doughty also scored for Los Angeles Tobias Rieder Jersey Womens , which is 2-0 against St. Louis this season.Mackenzie MacEachern, Oskar Sundqvist and Ryan O’Reilly scored for St. Louis, which had won seven of its previous 11 road games. Alex Pietrangelo and Ivan Barbashev both had two assists, and Binnington made 25 saves.“They played a good game. But we just made too many mistakes that cost us,” St. Louis coach Craig Berube said.MacEachern scored his first NHL goal when he knocked in a rebound of Vince Dunn’s slap shot while falling to the ice at 10:31 of the first period.Sundqvist put the Blues up 2-0 when he took a pass from Barbashev and lofted it past Quick’s stick with 1:11 left in the period. Los Angeles got a goal 15 seconds later when Leipsic picked off an errant pass from Barbashev in the Blues zone and then passed between two St. Louis skaters to an open Toffoli.Doughty tied it at 2 at 7:15 of the second on a 5-on-3 power play when he directed a slap shot from just outside the faceoff circle past Binnington. Kopitar gave the Kings a 3-2 advantage late in the period with his team-leading 14th goal of the season off a pass from Dustin Brown on a 2-on-1 rush.O’Reilly — who leads the Blues with 18 goals — tied it six minutes into the third on the power play when his shot from the right faceoff circle went over Quick’s glove and just under the crossbar.NOTES: Doughty has a point in three straight games (one goal, two assists). … Kopitar has a point in five straight against the Blues (three goals, four assists). … It was the second straight game that the Kings have scored on a two-man advantage.
