DETROIT — Michal Kempny scored with 3:52 remaining, and the Washington Capitals snapped their three-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday night.
Tom Wilson and Travis Boyd also scored for the Capitals, who overcame another fruitless night for their power play and improved to 9-0-2 in their last 11 games against Detroit.
Anthony Mantha and Filip Hronek scored for the Red Wings.
The Capitals trailed 2-1 heading into the final period, but Boyd tied it off a pass from Alex Ovechkin. Jimmy Howard nearly made the save sliding from right to left, but the puck made it through.
Kempny’s winner came on a wrist shot from the blue line that sailed through traffic and past Howard. The shot may have deflected off Detroit’s Tyler Bertuzzi, who was trying to pressure Kempny.
The Capitals won the Stanley Cup last season on the strength of a dynamic power play, but that unit is now 1 for 31 over the last 10 games after going 0 for 4 against the Red Wings.
COYOTES 5, RANGERS 0: Rookie Conor Garland scored twice, Darcy Kuemper made 23 saves for his first shutout of the season, and Arizona won at home to end a three-game losing streak.
