MONTREAL -- Richard Zednik scored his first goal in over a month midway through the third period to snap a tie as Montreal beat Ottawa. Zednik, who hadn't scored in 13 games since March 7, gave Montreal its second lead. David Aebischer made 35 saves to defeat Ottawa for the second time in five days. Chris Higgins scored for the fourth straight game and Sheldon Souray also had a goal for Montreal, which moved into seventh place in the Eastern Conference -- two points ahead of Tampa Bay. The Canadiens, two points behind sixth-place New Jersey, have won nine of 10. Dany Heatley extended his team record to 48 goals for Ottawa, which has lost a season-high four straight and remained tied with Carolina for first place in the East with 108 points. Rookie defenseman Andrej Meszaros also scored for the Senators.
Capitals 2, Bruins 1, OT
BOSTON -- Alex Ovechkin scored 3:30 into overtime, making him the sixth NHL rookie to reach 100 points.

The 20-year-old left winger has four games left to score again and join Teemu Selanne as the only NHL rookies to post 50 goals and 100 points in a debut season. Washington, ahead of only Pittsburgh at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, broke a four-game losing streak. Dainius Zubrus scored the other goal for the Capitals. Mark Stuart had his first career NHL goal for the host Bruins, who tied it in the third period. Olaf Kolzig made 37 saves for the Capitals. Boston counterpart Tim Thomas stopped 25 shots.
