Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
WASHINGTON, March 10 (UPI) -- Tomas Fleischmann fired a wrist shot past Manny Legace with 1:40 to go in overtime Wednesday, giving the Washington Capitals a 4-3 win over Carolina.
The Capitals got two power-play goals from Mike Green and expanded its lead to 15 points over Pittsburgh in the race for the best record in the Eastern Conference. Washington, with 99 points, leads San Jose by six for the No. 1 spot in the NHL.
Green's second goal gave Washington a 3-2 lead with 8:58 left in the second period, but Jussi Jokinen tied it on the power play 4 minutes later.
Jose Theodore made 28 saves in his 15th consecutive appearance without a loss. He has two no-decisions in that stretch.
Legace stopped 35 shots. Carolina has lost two out of three following a seven-game winning streak.
