				<title><![CDATA[Ovechkin, Clark rally Capitals to wild victory over Senators]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[WASHINGTON (Ticker) -- When it comes to Alexander Ovechkin, the 
shorter his name, the better his game.

Ovechkin scored twice, including the equalizer with 25 seconds
left in regulation, and Chris Clark tallied in overtime as the
Washington Capitals recovered from an early three-goal deficit
for a thrilling 4-3 victory over the Ottawa Senators.

Washington announced prior to the game that Ovechkin would like
to be known as Alex in the future.  The way the Russian
superstar has played this season, the Capitals would be wise to
accommodate all of his wishes.

"Alex or Alexander?  It doesn't matter for me," Ovechkin joked.
"Call me Ovie.  That's better."

Ovechkin drew Washington within 3-2 with a wicked wrister from
above the left faceoff circle midway through the second period.
He tied it in the final minute of the third period with a wrist
shot from a sharp angle, just below the left circle.

The reigning Calder Trophy winner, Ovechkin leads the Capitals
with 10 goals on the season.  He has scored twice in each of the
last two outings and has points in 11 of 14 games on the year.

"We wouldn't trade him for anyone in the world," Washington
coach Glen Hanlon said.  "He just seems to come through.  For a
determined guy, he seems to be even more determined when it gets
down to the nitty-gritty."

Ovechkin's late heroics set the stage for Clark, who tallied his
fifth of the season 1:33 into the extra session.  The team
captain skated in front of the net and deflected a shot by
Alexander Semin past goaltender Martin Gerber for the
game-winner.

"Those are the fun ones to be in," Hanlon said.  "When you come
back and score in the last minute ... and to be able to score in
overtime, it does a lot for your hockey club.  Those are big
wins for us."

After Capitals netminder Olaf Kolzig allowed three goals on the
first five shots he faced, Brent Johnson took over midway
through the first period and turned aside all 21 shots that came
his way.

"You don't even know how happy I am right now," Johnson said.

Johnson has allowed just 11 goals on 165 shots this season,
while Kolzig has surrendered eight tallies on 39 shots in the
last two games alone.

Semin set up each of the last three goals and Matt Pettinger
also scored for Washington, which had not won in its previous
eight meetings with Ottawa.

"The first period was terrible for us.  I don't know what
happened," Ovechkin said.  "We were just asleep and they moved
faster than us. ... The second period and third period, we
played very well.  We played hard like half the game. ... It's a
very big win for us and right now our team is going up."

Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson opened the barrage just 91
seconds into the contest and set up Antoine Vermette at 10:25 to
make it 2-0.  Dany Heatley tallied less than two minutes later
on only Ottawa's fifth shot of the game, chasing Kolzig after
just 11:51.

"We just felt like there was no panic, no feeling that this game
was out of control," Hanlon said.  "We all felt to a man that
we were going to come back and win."

Gerber, who slammed his stick across the crossbar after letting
in the game-winner, finished with 22 saves.  Defenseman Andrej
Meszaros had two assists for the Senators, who have lost four
straight games.

"We get the early goal and looked like we were playing well,"
Senators coach Brian Murray said.  "But from then on, we were
tight. ... We're getting beaten up a little bit in our own end."]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Capitals hope to end eight-game winless streak vs. Senators]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[Ottawa (5-7-0) at Washington (5-4-4) 7:00 pm EST

WASHINGTON (Ticker) -- The Washington Capitals erased their
demons against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday.  Now they
will try their luck against the Ottawa Senators.

The Capitals try to snap an eight-game home winless streak
against the Senators when the teams match up Monday at the
Verizon Center.

Washington has absorbed six losses with a pair of ties in its
last eight meetings here with Ottawa.  The Senators have
outscored the Capitals, 35-13, in those games and posted five of
their six wins by at least three goals.

Perhaps Washington will be able to generate some momentum from
its 5-3 win at Philadelphia on Saturday.  The Capitals had not
won a road game against the Flyers since March 5, 1998, a
stretch of 16 games.

Alexander Ovechkin and defenseman Ben Clymer scored twice and
Brent Johnson made 33 saves for the Capitals, who had lost three
of their last four games.

The Senators are coming off their third straight defeat,
Saturday's 3-2 setback against Carolina.  Daniel Alfredsson and
Denis Hamel scored the only goals for Ottawa, which went 0-for-7
with the extra skater and is a league-worst 6-for-71 on the
season.]]></description>
