Defenceman Taylor Chorney broke a tie early in the third period with his first goal of the season and the Washington Capitals held on to beat the Ottawa Senators 2-1 on Sunday night.
Chorney's shot from the point beat goalie Mike Condon through a screen. The defenceman has three goals in 130 NHL games in parts of seven seasons.
Karl Alzner also scored for Washington, and Braden Holtby stopped 23 shots.
Kyle Turris scored for Ottawa. Heading into a five-day break, the Senators have lost three straight for the first time this season.
The most unsettling time for Washington came midway through the third period when center Evgeny Kuznetsov and defenseman Brooks Orpik were called for penalties. But, the Capitals survived the two-man deficit. Washington has not surrendered a power-play goal in the past seven games — 28 power plays in all.
Turris scored his 13th goal of the season at 12:41 of the second period. He took a pass from Ryan Dzingel from behind the hit and slammed it past Holtby.
Washington tied when Alzner scored on a slap shot with 20 seconds left in the second period. It was Alzner's third goal of the season, and his first since Nov. 1.
Chorney scored at 2:43 of the third.
