WASHINGTON (AP) — Pius Suter scored two goals to help the Detroit Red Wings stay hot with a 3-1 win at the Washington Capitals. The Red Wings have won six of seven and passed the Capitals in the Eastern Conference wild-card race. They won even after captain Dylan Larkin was ejected for cross-checking T.J. Oshie in the face. Defensive defenseman Robert Hagg broke a 75-game goal drought and Ville Husso made 26 saves for the victory. Washington has lost five in a row in regulation for the first time since January 2014.
