Logan Thompson made 30 saves as the Washington Capitals won for the second time in their last eight games, beating the Carolina Hurricanes 4-1 on Tuesday night in Raleigh, N.C.

Alex Ovechkin, who notched an empty-net goal to go with an earlier assist, finished with a two-point night, while Brandon Duhaime, Dylan Strome and Jakob Chychrun also scored for the Capitals. John Carlson added two assists for Washington, which had lost two in a row.

Nikolaj Ehlers scored for the Hurricanes, who had been riding a four-game winning streak despite near-constant lineup changes because of injuries. Carolina failed to convert on a late third-period power play even after pulling the goalie, dashing its bid for a comeback.
