ROUNDUP Monday's other games

Capitals 6, Thrashers 4
WASHINGTON -- Rookie sensation Alex Ovechkin scored the tying goal and assisted on the go-ahead goal, as Washington eliminated the Thrashers from playoff contention. Atlanta could reach the postseason for the first time in franchise history if it could win its last two games and get some help. Instead, the Thrashers' four-game winning streak ended. Ovechkin, honored by the Capitals during ceremonies before and after Washington's home finale, scored from the left slot on a pass from Ben Clymer to tie it 2:36 into the final period, then found Brian Willsie open during a two-man advantage for the score that made it 5-4 at the 8:58 mark. Matt Pettinger tacked on an insurance goal at 12:26, his second of the game, giving him 20 for the season. Ovechkin reached 52 goals and 105 points; both totals rank third in NHL history for a rookie. Five of Washington's goals were allowed by Mike Dunham.
Red Wings 3, Stars 2
DETROIT -- Tomas Holmstrom's power-play goal with 44.3 seconds remaining capped Detroit's three-goal third period. Johan Franzen and Andreas Lilja also scored and Henrik Zetterberg added two assists for Detroit, which trailed 2-0 before stretching its winning streak to eight games. The Red Wings also made it 20 consecutive games (17-0-3) with at least a point, since their last regulation loss on March 7. Manny Legace stopped 28 shots. Jason Arnott had a goal and an assist and Jere Lehtinen also scored for Dallas.
