Simon Leads Washington Over Florida

The Washington Capitals did something Monday night that no other team has done this season. They made the Florida Panthers look bad.

Chris Simon scored twice, and Todd Krygier added a goal and an assist to lead Washington to its third consecutive victory--a 4-2 win over Florida at Miami.

The loss was only the third of the year for Florida (11-3-5) and its first by more than one goal.

Boston 4, San Jose 2--Sandy Moger had two goals and an assist, and Bill Ranford made 31 saves as the Bruins continued their dominance over the Sharks with the victory at Boston.

Steve Heinze and Troy Mallette also scored for the Bruins, who won their third game in a row.

Detroit 2, Phoenix 2--Darren McCarty scored with 1:43 remaining to lift the Red Wings to the tie at Phoenix.

Brendan Shanahan also scored a goal and assisted on the game-tying goal for the Red Wings.

Calgary 5, New York Rangers 3--Theoren Fleury scored twice, including the go-ahead goal in the third period, as the Flames rallied to beat the Rangers at Calgary.

With the score tied, 2-2, in the third, Fleury scored his second goal on a power play at 7:07, blasting a slapshot from the blue-line past goaltender Mike Richter.
