Capitals score four times in third period to beat Edmonton Oilers, 4-2

EDMONTON, ALBERTA -- After watching the Edmonton Oilers hold his team scoreless through two periods, Washington Capitals Coach Bruce Boudreau resorted to his last option: He closed the door to the visitors' dressing room at Rexall Place and blasted his best players.

Alex Ovechkin took his coach's words to heart, then went out and scored twice in the first 6 minutes 37 seconds of the third period, sparking a 4-2 victory that ended the Capitals' 13-year drought in this building.

'I don't like yelling at [Ovechkin], but sometimes you see guys who look tired and down and they need a little boost,' Boudreau said. 'I tried to give it to him and challenged him. I started him right off the bat. Instead of saying, 'Woe is me, why is the coach yelling at me?' he took up the challenge and said, 'I'll show you,' and went out there and got three points in the third and led us to a victory.'
