Final
Capitals defeat Maple Leafs to end skid
Mar 17, 2007 - 1:42 AM WASHINGTON (Ticker) -- All that is left for Alexander Semin and the Washington Capitals now is to damage or destroy other club's playoff aspirations.Semin had a goal and two assists as the Capitals posted a 5-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Alexandre Giroux had a goal and an assist and goaltender Olaf Kolzig made 34 saves for Washington, which snapped a nine-game losing streak. The Capitals are 14th in the Eastern Conference and have to be content with a spoiler role for the rest of the season.
Nik Antropov scored the only goal and netminder Andrew Raycroft made 28 saves for the Maple Leafs (34-28-9), who remained ninth in the Eastern Conference after the costly loss.
Semin scored the eventual game-winner at 7:55 of the first period when he worked his way in front of the net and banged his own rebound past Raycroft for a 2-1 lead.
