DETROIT (AP) — Tobias Rieder Jersey Womens , the Washington Capitals needed scoring from some unlikely sources.Michal Kempny and Travis Boyd scored in the third period, and the Capitals snapped their three-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday night. Kempny’s winner came with 3:52 remaining. It was his fifth goal of the season, and Boyd scored his fourth.“Through the first two, it was a slow and sloppy game,” Boyd said. “We came together here in between the second and the third and just said if we put together 20 good minutes here, we could walk away with the win. We were able to do that.”Tom Wilson also scored for the Capitals, who improved to 9-0-2 in their last 11 games against Detroit. Anthony Mantha and Filip Hronek scored for the Red Wings.The Capitals trailed 2-1 heading into the final period, but Boyd tied it off a pass from Alex Ovechkin. Goalie Jimmy Howard nearly made the save sliding from right to left, but the puck made it through.Kempny’s winner came on a wrist shot from the blue line that sailed through traffic and past Howard. The shot appeared to take a deflection off Detroit’s Tyler Bertuzzi, who was trying to pressure Kempny.“We felt like our forwards were really fighting hard to get to the front of the net, and we didn’t deliver enough pucks there. That was the message in between the second and third,” Capitals coach Todd Reirden said. “We were able to convert on that after.”The Capitals won the Stanley Cup last season on the strength of a dynamic power play Mike Hoffman Jersey Womens , but that unit is now 1 for 31 over the past 10 games after four more empty opportunities Sunday. Detroit wasn’t any better, though. The Red Wings were 0 for 3 and were unable to convert after T.J. Oshie took a penalty with 2:47 left in regulation.Detroit is 1 for 20 on the power play in its past eight games.“When you get a power play, everyone gets excited because you’ve got a chance to change the game,” Mantha said. “When you don’t do anything, it takes away all of your momentum.”Washington opened the scoring when Wilson scored after a scramble in front of the net. Evgeny Kuznetsov was able to control the puck and made a slick pass to Wilson, who scored from a sharp angle.Mantha, in his second game back from a broken hand, was impressive throughout the first, and he tied the game with an unassisted goal with 5:52 left in the period. Mantha stole the puck at the Washington blue line, skated in and beat goalie Braden Holtby with a backhander between the pads.Hronek put the Red Wings ahead in the second when he redirected a nice pass from Dylan Larkin past Holtby.“For us to win games against a team like that, you either have to play mistake-free hockey, score a lot of goals or win the special teams battles Peter Budaj Jersey Womens ,” Detroit coach Jeff Blashill said. “We didn’t do that tonight. Our kill was outstanding, but the power play isn’t good enough.”NOTES: Wilson, who began the season on a lengthy suspension for a hit during the preseason, now has 12 goals in 22 games. His career high is 14. … Detroit was without F Michael Rasmussen. Blashill said he has a lower-body injury and will likely miss at least one more game.UP NEXTCapitals: Host Philadelphia on Tuesday night.Red Wings: Host Montreal on Tuesday night. SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) Harri Sateri is making the most of his opportunity in net for the Florida Panthers.Sateri made 26 saves for his fourth consecutive win while filling in for injured goalie James Reimer, and the Panthers beat the Vancouver Canucks 3-1 on Tuesday night.The 28-year-old Sateri made his NHL debut on Jan. 20 and is quickly making his mark.”My confidence is going up all the time when you get those wins and good games,” he said. ”I feel like I’ve been pretty consistent.”This past Monday, Sateri was named the NHL’s Second Star of the Week.”This is a dream. I’ve been working for this all my life and now I’m here and I’m winning. It’s just awesome,” he said.Sateri’s play could make the decision on who to start when Reimer returns a difficult one.”It’s his net right now. He’s playing fantastic and the team’s got a lot of trust in him,” Panthers coach Bob Boughner said. ”That’s going to be a tough decision the coaches will have to make, but those are great decisions when you have that kind of depth.”Aleksander Barkov scored twice for Florida, including the go-ahead goal late in the second period. Jamie McGinn also scored for the Panthers.Markus Granlund scored for the Canucks Andrew Hammond Jersey Womens , and Jacob Markstrom stopped 37 shots.Barkov gave the Panthers a 2-1 lead with 3:52 left in the second. He corralled a loose puck in the high slot, skated in and sent a backhand off Markstrom’s pad and into the net.”Great pass by (Mark Pysyk) and I just happened to (have a) breakaway,” Barkov said. ”I got lucky. I put it in.”Markstrom tried to be patient on the play.”I waited as long as I could so he wouldn’t put it on my forehand and make me look stupid,” the goalie said. ”I thought I had it good but it trickled through my pad and glove.”Barkov added an empty-net goal with 41.5 seconds left to make it 3-1.Barkov has 14 points in his last 13 games and is tied for the team lead with Jonathan Huberdeau and Vincent Trocheck at 18 goals.”We’re doing the small, little things pretty well right now,” Barkov said. ”Our goalie has been standing on his head all the time and giving us a chance to win.”The Canucks tied it 1-all on a short-handed goal by Granlund, who grabbed a loose puck in the neutral zone, skated in and put the puck between Sateri’s pads with 8:20 left in the second.”I was kind of surprised that I was all by myself and I was able to take it in,” Granlund said.McGinn put the Panthers ahead 1-0 on his power-play goal with 3:32 left in the first. McGinn pushed the puck from the right side to the center of the crease and it bounced off the blade of Vancouver defenseman Christopher Tanev and into the net.”We had a lot of guys who were a half a step behind,” Vancouver coach Travis Green said. ”We weren’t on our toes and we weren’t playing quick enough.”NOTES: Reimer returned to practice Monday for the first time since injuring his groin on Jan. 23 in Dallas. His return is tentatively slated for Friday against Los Angeles, Boughner said. … D Ian McCoshen returned to the lineup after being a healthy scratch the previous nine games. … Canucks C Sam Gagner was back in the lineup after missing one game with an upper-body injury.UP NEXTCanucks: Visit the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday.Panthers: Host the Los Angeles Kings on Friday.—
