Feb 25, 2007 - 4:03 PM New Jersey (38-18-6) at Washington (24-28-10) 1:00 pm EST

WASHINGTON (Ticker) -- The Washington Capitals may be fading out of playoff contention, but they can still accomplish something notable.

The Capitals aim for a home-and-home sweep of the New Jersey Devils when the Eastern Conference clubs square off in Washington on Sunday.

Washington, which is 12 points outside of the final playoff spot in the conference, posted a 4-2 triumph in New Jersey on Saturday. Alexander Semin had a goal and an assist and goaltender Brent Johnson made 29 saves.

Semin, who had 10 goals as a rookie last season in 52 games, has 31 in 57 contests this season.

The Devils, who had their three-game winning streak snapped, got goals from Cam Janssen and Jay Pandolfo. Goaltender Martin Brodeur, who made his 32nd straight start, stopped 26 shots.

Brodeur leads the NHL with 32 wins and 11 shutouts. He has a 2.07 goals-against average, tied with Detroit's Dominik Hasek for the league lead.
