Jordan Kyrou had a goal and assist, Justin Holl and Ivan Miroshnichenko also scored and Charlie Lindgren stopped 26 shots to help the Capitals snap a two-game losing streak.<\/p>\n
Josh Anderson scored twice and Lane Hutson and Nick Suzuki added goals for the Canadiens.<\/p>\n
Both teams played on Tuesday night, with Washington falling 4-2 at Carolina, and Montreal edging Buffalo 4-3 in a shootout at home.<\/p>\n
Montreal got off to a quick start when Anderson, alone at the net front, buried a feed from Alex Newhook 4:56 into play. Minutes later, Kryou responded, cutting to the middle before rifling a quick shot past Jakub Dobes.<\/p>\n
Roughly halfway through the first, Montreal regained the lead, as Hutson, playing against younger brother Cole for the first time, beat Charlie Lindgren on a quick shot from the slot. With 25 seconds to go in the period, the Capitals tied it 2 on a power play. Ivan Miroshnichenko\u2019s backdoor feed to Tuch went off Anderson\u2019s stick and in.<\/p>\n
Washington took a 3-2 lead 6:16 into the second period, when Tuch had a short-handed goal. Anderson tied it again from close range.<\/p>\n
Justin Holl broke the tie with 7:31 minutes to go, beating Dobes on a point shot through traffic. Tuch added an insurance goal minutes later for his fifth of the season.<\/p>\n
Suzuki pulled the Canadiens within one with 1:39 to go on a power play with an extra attacker.<\/p>\n
