The Washington Capitals continue to maintain their lead over the division, even with the occasional inconsistency.
The Capitals have had stretches all season where they go on short winning streaks sandwiched between a few losses.
In the Washington Capitals last contest against the Los Angeles Kings, the game appeared to be headed in the direction of a loss to the Kings. But then Alex Ovechkin took over, and with only about 6 minutes left in the game he had his first shot on goal in which he tied the game.
Alex then followed up that great moment with another two where he then took the lead and sealed the win.
