Tired Capitals host Coyotes
Jan 1, 2007 - 3:40 PM Phoenix (15-20-2) at Washington (16-16-7) 2:00 pm ESTWASHINGTON (Ticker) -- The Washington Capitals conclude a difficult stretch when they host the Phoenix Coyotes on Monday.
The Capitals, losers of four straight, are closing a run where they have played four game in four cities over five days. Washington's latest came on Saturday in a 4-1 defeat to the New York Rangers.
Alexander Ovechkin was held scoreless in the game, but his 50 points are fourth-highest in the league while his 25 goals ties him for the league lead with Tampa Bay's Martin St. Louis.
Phoenix, which starts a five-game road trip, has some momentum built up after completing an impressive home-and-home sweep of the San Jose Sharks with an 8-0 triumph on Saturday.
Shane Doan led the Coyotes with a goal and four assists while Jeremy Roenick recorded a hat trick after only scoring one goal in his last 31 games.
Coyotes netminder Curtis Joseph tied Jacques Plante for fifth on the NHL career wins list with 437 after making 40 saves for his 47th career shutout.
