Capitals 3, Hurricanes 1

Dynamic Alexander Ovechkin is finishing up his first NHL season in fine fashion. Maybe now, the Washington Capitals can do the same.

"Hard work, it's almost like our DNA now," Washington right wing Dainius Zubrus said. "We step on the ice, and one thing we're going to do is work hard. It starts from the older guys and works its way down."

All the way down to the rookie.
