WASHINGTON — The Washington Capitals return home from a successful four-game trip to host the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday night.Washington (10-7-3) won three of four games on the road despite injuries to goalie Braden Holtby and top-six forwards Evgeny Kuznetsov and T.J. Oshie along the way.Holtby missed three games and was slated to make his return against the Blackhawks http://www.officialpenguinsproshop.com/authentic-adidas-derick-brassard-jersey , but when the Montreal Canadiens scored three goals in 75 seconds Monday night against Phoenix Copley, coach Todd Reirden inserted Holtby.Article continues below ...He stopped all 22 shots he faced and the Capitals rallied from a 4-2 second-period deficit for a 5-4 win on Lars Eller’s overtime goal.“I thought (Holtby) was great when he came in,” Reirden told the team’s website. “He looked really solid; he really settled things down for us and changed the momentum of the game. That’s what you have to do sometimes.”Washington, which has won two straight games in overtime, is home for two games sandwiched around Thanksgiving with the Detroit Red Wings visiting Friday.Kuznetsov and Oshie are day to day with upper-body injuries. Washington announced Tuesday that 38-year-old defenseman Brooks Orpik, who has missed 10 games, underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee and he will miss four to six weeks.Orpik’s absence has meant more time for second-year defenseman Madison Bowey, who has three assists in his last five games. The 23-year-old Bowey played in 51 games as a rookie last season but was not in the lineup during the Stanley Cup run.Bowey told the Washington Post that sitting out taught him to focus on playing his game rather than worrying about making a mistake.“Now I’m just free-spirited. I’m making sure I come to the rink ready and I’m focused Youth Evgeni Malkin Jersey , and I’m prepared,” Bowey told the Post. “I have confidence in myself and in my game because I know the coaching staff does. I think that’s why I’m definitely feeling much better this year than I did last year.”The Blackhawks (8-8-5) play seven of their next nine games on the road. They’ll travel south to play the Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers this weekend before heading back home for a game.“It’ll be a fun trip,” Blackhawks coach Jeremy Colliton told the Chicago Tribune. “Another measuring stick. I thought Sunday (against the Minnesota Wild) was a measuring stick against one of the top teams in the conference to see how we could handle it.“We’ll take it one game at a time. But it goes back to us. If we take care of our own performance, I believe we’ll have a chance to win.”Corey Crawford made a season-high 39 saves against the Wild. He has allowed two regulation goals in the past three games.“Overall, I think I’ve felt great,” Crawford told NHL.com. “I felt good in every game and just got to battle and work to be good. I’ve felt good so far, but I felt our guys did a really good job of helping out in front of the net.”Jonathan Toews had a goal and an assist against the Wild and Patrick Kane had two assists for the Blackhawks, who are 2-0-2 in their past four games despite scoring just seven goals.Crawford is 3-4-2 with a 3.54 goals-against average and .884 save percentage against the Capitals.Holtby is 7-3 with a 2.67 GAA and a .918 save percentage versus the Blackhawks. WINNIPEG Jake Guentzel Jersey Kids , Manitoba (AP) — Kyle Connor doesn’t want to get worked up about his hot start to the season.Connor scored for a third straight game and the Winnipeg Jets overcame Ilya Kovalchuk’s first NHL goal in five years to beat the Los Angeles Kings 2-1 on Tuesday night.“Trying not (to get) too high or too low throughout the season,” Connor said. “It’s a long season here. But playing with confidence is a big thing for me.”Mark Scheifele also scored and Connor Hellebuyck made 16 saves for the Jets, who outshot the Kings 39-17.“The guys were really good in front of me, so I could just enjoy the game,” Hellebuyck said.Jack Campbell, replacing injured starter Jonathan Quick, stopped 37 shots in his ninth career game.Quick suffered a lower-body injury during practice last Saturday. Campbell got the nod Sunday and backstopped the Kings to a 4-2 win over Detroit.“(Campbell) comes in tough spots and the team doesn’t play well in front of you, but he still gives you a chance to get a point at the end of the day http://www.officialpenguinsproshop.com/authentic-adidas-justin-schultz-jersey , so it’s terrific,” Kings coach John Stevens said.“But you can’t play the game on your heels. You just sit back and let a team come at you, they’re going to make you play in your end a lot.”Kovalchuk got his first goal since returning from Russia with the Kings this season on a three-year deal. It was the 418th of his career.The 35-year-old Kovalchuk got behind Winnipeg’s defensemen, skated to the net and redirected Drew Doughty’s pass at 6:26 of the opening period for a 1-0 lead.“I prefer to win than score goals,” Kovalchuk said. “It wasn’t enough so we will be better next game.”The Jets tied it four minutes later when forward Brandon Tanev spun away from a defender along the boards and sent a quick pass to the slot for Scheifele’s first goal of the season at 10:59.The Jets had almost back-to-back power plays near the midway point of the second period and were successful on the second one when Connor poked the puck in with his stick after Blake Wheeler’s shot went off Campbell and began heading toward the goal line at 10:21.Winnipeg’s shot advantage in the second was 19-5.Los Angeles had its first power play of the game midway through the third, but Hellebuyck made a big save and then got a piece of another shot that hit the crossbar.Winnipeg defenseman Tyler Myers was called for high-sticking with 3:02 remaining. Campbell went to the bench with about 90 seconds left to make it 6-on-4 but couldn’t convert with the advantage.UP NEXTKings: Play the second game of their four-game trip in Montreal on Thursday night.Jets: Travel to Nashville for a game Thursday night.
