WASHINGTON, March 8 (UPI) -- Marian Hossa and Daniel Alfredsson each had two assists and Patrick Lalime stopped 13 of 14 shots as Ottawa cruised to a 4-1 triumph over Washington.
Defenseman Chris Phillips and Martin Havlat scored just over eight minutes apart in the opening period and Wade Redden and Mike Fisher tallied in the second and third period, respectively, as the Senators improved to 3
1 against the Capitals this season.
Ottawa is unbeaten in its last six games in Washington and, in this one, feasted on a team that has traded away most of its stars and held out top goaltender Olaf Kolzig. The Capitals sent right wing Anson Carter to Los Angeles earlier on Monday.
Another player the Capitals traded away was Peter Bondra, the team's all-time leading scorer.
Tough guy Stephen Peat had the lone goal for Washington, which is 3-6-1 since trading Bondra.
