Monday’s NHL games
Capitals 6, Hurricanes 1
WASHINGTON
Defenseman Dmitry Orlov scored twice and Washington kept the offense rolling to beat Carolina and extend its point streak to 14 games. Orlov doubled his goal output for the season and Justin Williams, Evgeny Kuznetsov, T.J. Oshie and Lars Eller also scored for the Capitals, who have won three in a row and haven’t lost in regulation since Dec. 27. Washington scored on six of its 25 shots on Cam Ward and handed Carolina its fourth consecutive loss. Braden Holtby made 25 saves for his 23rd victory of the season. The only goal he allowed came from Jordan Staal on the power play in the first period. The Capitals allowed the first goal for the first time in 11 games but scored six unanswered. They’ve scored 44 goals in their past eight games.
