Orlov, Ovechkin big in Caps' win

Dmitry Orlov scored with 5 minutes, 4 seconds remaining after Alex Ovechkin got a tying goal earlier in the period to help the Washington Capitals rally for a 3-2 win over the Minnesota Wild on Friday.

Ovechkin got his league-leading 40th goal in the third period, and Brooks Orpik also scored while the NHL-best Capitals completed a four-game homestand with three wins.

The Chicago Blackhawkis traded defenseman Rob Scuderi back to the Los Angeles Kings in a deal for defenseman Christian Ehrhoff. Scuderi spent four seasons with the Kings from 2009-13. Ehrhoff had 10 points in 40 games for the Kings this season. . . . Defenseman Olli Maatta agreed to a six-year contract extension with the Pittsburgh Penguins through the 2021-22 season. Maatta has six goals and 10 assists in 53 games this season. . . . The Nashville Predators signed defenseman Anthony Bitetto to a two-year, $1.2 million contract. Bitetto has played 16 of his 17 games this season since Nashville traded defenseman Seth Jones to Columbus in January.
