Capitals Edge Past Kings in Last-Minute Victory

John Carlson's late goal ends Washington's two-game slide, deepens Los Angeles' losing streak to five.

John Carlson scored the winning goal with 53 seconds left, leading the Washington Capitals to a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Kings.
Nicolas Aube-Kubel had a goal and two assists, Nic Dowd and Dylan Strome also scored for the Capitals, helping to end a two-game losing streak.
Kevin Fiala scored twice and Adrian Kempe also scored for the Kings, who have now lost five consecutive games.
Washington Capitals' coach Spencer Carbery changed the lines mid-game, pairing Alex Ovechkin, Strome and Max Pacioretty together, a move that paid off as Strome tied the game.
Despite a strong performance from the Kings in the second period, the Capitals managed to secure the win with a last-minute goal from Carlson.
