(AP Photo/Nick Wass) Show Caption Expand WASHINGTON — During the second intermission when they were again trailing by two goals, Washington Capitals players shared with each other a simple message. Though what turned into a blowout didn’t start that way. It didn't happen tonight. “We said in here, ‘We already did it once this year and we can do it again,’” Marcus Johansson said. Then they did. Rutta gave the Penguins the lead 4:04 into the first with an innocent flip from the point that made its way through traffic before slipping by Petersen. While Ovechkin still needs 112 tallies to catch Gretzky’s total of 894, the Russian sniper will likely score the 19 goals he needs to surpass Gordie Howe for second in league history this season. The Capitals erased a second multigoal third-period deficit in a week, beating the Los Angeles Kings 4-3 on Saturday night. The franchise's all-time winningest coach and two-time Stanley Cup winner passed along the credit to the players who have made his 300 victories happen. “We just kept working hard, I think we executed a little bit better maybe, but we stuck with it,” Johansson said. Jarry withstood a flurry from the Kings, and Guentzel picked up his third goal of the season at the end of a sequence in which Petersen chased Penguins defenseman Kris Letang behind the net. With the memory of a similar comeback Monday against Vancouver fresh, Nic Dowd and John Carlson scored to erase the deficit, Lars Eller put Washington ahead and — after Los Angeles tied it — Johansson got a wraparound goal past Jonathan Quick with 5:25 to respond. It didn’t take much for members of one of oldest teams in the NHL to believe another rally was possible. Rakell’s followed a little less than four minutes later by skating behind Petersen through the paint to backhand home a rebound off a Petry shot from the point." UP NEXT Kings: Finish up an early season five-game East Coast swing on Saturday in Washington. “As soon as Dowder scored, I felt like, ‘OK, here we go,’” said Johansson, who has five points in six games. “We got some looks and it started going in.” Dmitry Orlov tied a career high with three assists, and Darcy Kuemper made 21 saves, including a couple important stops in the final minute. All Rights Reserved. Washington has won three of four games after dropping its first two. Despite Viktor Arvidsson setting up two goals and tying it in the third and two-time Stanley Cup-winning goalie Jonathan Quick stopping 28 of the 32 shots he faced, Los Angeles has lost two in a row to wrap up a five-game trip after getting blown out in Pittsburgh on Thursday night. The Kings won the first three on the trip and now return home on a sour note after blowing a two-goal lead.

So we’re still not where we need to be, quite frankly.” The Capitals are not either, but at 3-3 they’ve been able to pick up some points early without top forwards Nicklas Backstrom and Tom Wilson and after losing winger Connor Brown to a long-term injury. After a dud of a 5-2 loss Thursday in Ottawa, Washington’s third period could prove significant in the long term with the next four on the road. “At the start of the season, everybody’s close to each other so you try to get more points and get better position in the standings because it’s a long season,” Orlov said. I think this season we got a lot of road trips, long road trips, and it’s going to be difficult and we need to especially be good at home. We weren’t last year, and I think we tried to be good this season, get more points at home than last year.” NOTES : Peter Laviolette coached the Capitals after being considered a game-time decision with an illness not related to COVID-19. … Washington’s Evgeny Kuznetsov returned after serving a one-game suspension for high-sticking. … Kings defenseman Alexander Edler returned from a three-game absence after getting struck in the face by a puck in warmups Monday.
