LINE JUGGLING
Washington juggled its offensive line combinations and produced its biggest scoring output of the season in a 5-3 win over Tampa Bay on Wednesday night. Chris Clark was moved to the top line with Alexander Ovechkin and recorded his first two goals and points of the season. The Capitals entered the day as one of only two clubs in the NHL that had yet to score more than three goals in a game, a drought that extended 16 games to a 7-1 victory over the Lightning on March 18 last season.
SNAPPED
Alex Tanguay broke an 18-game goalless drought that dated to last season by recording the tying and go-ahead tallies in Calgary’s 5-3 win over Minnesota on Wednesday night. … Philadelphia’s five-game winning streak ended with a 4-3 loss at Florida. The game began a season-long eight-game road trip for the Flyers.
CAPITAL GAIN
Washington right wing Alexander Semin came off injured reserve prior to Wednesday night’s game against Tampa Bay. Semin, who scored 38 goals last season, missed six of the season’s first seven games because of a sprained right ankle.
SIDELINED
Edmonton placed defenseman Sheldon Souray on the injured list with a sprained left shoulder and recalled Ladislav Smid on Wednesday. … New York Rangers forward Ryan Callahan will be sidelined indefinitely because of a sprained knee. New York is already without Martin Straka (broken finger) and agitator Sean Avery (shoulder) up front.
SPEAKING
“For the last few weeks, the puck seemed to stick to my gear. Now it was bouncing in areas I didn’t want it to bounce and it was giving them second opportunities on a couple of the goals.” – Philadelphia goalie Martin Biron after Wednesday night’s 4-3 loss at Florida. Biron had won six of his first seven starts with a .952 save percentage.
