Sports Roundup: Wings’ Howard gives up 6

Red Wings

Alex Ovechkin scored the winning goal with 2:23 left in overtime as the Washington Capitals clipped the Detroit Red Wings 6-5 to earn a split in the home-and-home series.

It was Ovechkin's NHL-leading 39th goal of the season. Gustav Nyquist recorded his first career hat trick and also had an assist for the Wings, who beat the Caps 4-3 in a shootout on Friday in Detroit. That tied it at 4, but the Caps came right back. The Wings tied it up to send it to overtime on a Justin Abdelkader goal. Jimmy Howard allowed all six goals on 28 shots in the setback. The Wings host the Vancouver Canucks tonight at Joe Louis Arena.
