NEWARK, N.J., Feb. 3 (UPI) -- Michael Nylander scored two goals Tuesday in Washington's 5-2 victory over New Jersey that ended the Devils' eight-game win streak.

Mike Green and Brooks Laich also scored for the Capitals, who have won three straight games. Jose Theodore made 32 saves for Washington, which earned at least a point for the seventh time in its last eight games (6-1-1). Alex Ovechkin had two assists.

Jamie Langenbrunner and Brian Rolston scored for the Devils, who were going for their first nine-game win streak in more than a year but lost for the first time since Jan. 11 at Anaheim.

Scott Clemmensen gave up four goals on 25 shots to take the loss.
