WASHINGTON — William Eklund scored 39 seconds into overtime, Mackenzie Blackwood made 27 saves and the San Jose Sharks ended the Washington Capitals' winning streak at four by beating them 2-1. The Capitals lost for the first time since Nov. 23 and fell to 4-2-1 since captain and leading goal-scorer Alex Ovechkin was sidelined by a broken left fibula. Macklin Celebrini had an assist on Eklund's power-play goal in OT to extend his point streak to five games.
