Second period recap

The Capitals just finished another dominating period as they out shot the Stars 23-11 in the second period and put another goal on the scoreboard.

Alex Ovechkin broke his six game goal scoring drought at 14:37 on a power play strike. Ovechkin took a pass from Semin and fired a wrist shot from the top of the left circle that beat Marty Turco.

It was the Capitals 8th shot on the power play.

The shot went through the legs of the Stars' Karlis Skrastins which may have obscurred Turco's view of the puck.

The goal game with 15 seconds left on the Capitals power play after they failed to score with 1:25 of 5 on 3 time. Skrastins was in the box for a hook on Brenden Morrison while Stephane Robidas was in the penalty box for a delay of game call.

The goal was Ovechkin's 43rd of the year, and pulled him to within one of the Penguins Sidney Crosby for the league lead.
