Alexander Semin continued his hot streak but his two goal effort was not enough as the Devils defeated the Caps in an overtime shootout. The Capitals have played well 5-on-5 all season but the special teams continued to be a challenge for the team. The Caps converted on 1 of 8 power play attempts. The lone goal came on 1 of 2 5-on-3 advantages. The penalty killed looked a bit better but still allowed 1 goal on 4 attempts.Brent Johnson played a good game in net stopping 34 of 37 shots. In the shootout he gave up one goal on two attempts while Martin Brodeur stopped Michael Nylander, Semin and Alex Ovechkin for the win.
