Capitals looking to bounce back at home

Jan 13, 2009 - 1:18 PM Edmonton (20-18-3) at Washington (27-13-3), 7:00 p.m. EST

WASHINGTON (Ticker) -- The Washington Capitals hope their home ice can help the team return to the win column when they host the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday.

Washington had won nine consecutive games at home and seven straight overall before a 3-0 setback to Columbus on Friday. Rookie Steve Mason made 45 saves for the Blue Jackets.

The Capitals were then defeated by the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday, 5-4, as Sergei Kostitsyn scored the game-winner with 22 seconds to play.

Alexander Semin scored twice in the loss for Washington, his first tallies since returning from a back injury on January 3 that caused him to miss six games.

Edmonton is beginning a three-game road trip after going 3-2-0 on its recent homestand.

Sam Gagner scored the game-winner at 6:28 of the third period on Sunday as the Oilers snapped a two-game losing streak with a 2-1 victory over the St. Louis Blues. Dwayne Roloson made 21 saves in the win.

Washington is an Eastern Conference-best 18-2-1 at home this season.
