WASHINGTON (AP) — Jakob Chychrun, Aliaksei Protas and Pierre-Luc Dubois scored, Logan Thompson made 18 saves and the NHL-leading Washington Capitals beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-1 on Saturday night for their fourth consecutive victory.

Washington Capitals defenseman Jakob Chychrun lauded Alex Ovechkin for achieving a significant milestone. The Capitals forward has broken the NHL record for most goalies scored on.

The Penguins and Capitals renewed arguably the highest-profile rivalry of the salary-cap era on Saturday night.
