WASHINGTON (AP) — Jakob Chychrun scored his 10th goal on a one-timer with 3:56 left, and the Washington Capitals rallied from two goals down to defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-2 on Friday.
Chychrun extended his points streak to 10 games. It was the NHL-best 22nd goal scored by a Washington defenseman. Tom Wilson later added Washington’s 23rd — and his 13th this season — on an empty-netter.
The Capitals closed out a 3-1-0 homestand.
Anthony Beauvillier tied it at 2 on a one-timer of Alex Ovechkin’s feed with 6:44 left. Connor McMichael picked up an assist on Chychrun’s game-winner after he started Washington’s rally when he converted a second-chance opportunity late in the second period.
