The Washington Capitals took home a bruising victory against the Carolina Hurricanes<\/a> on Tuesday night, 4-1, behind Jakob Chychrun\u2019s 100th career goal and Alex Ovechkin\u2019s empty-netter.<\/p>\n

But Washington had to fight for it.<\/p>\n

A brawl broke out between the teams with five minutes to go in the first period. Capitals center Nic Dowd barreled through Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen behind the net. Andersen went down and Hurricanes players came after Dowd to answer for the knock.<\/p>\n

The incident sparked multiple scrums across the ice. Once the officials got the game under control, 18 minutes of penalties were doled out. There were 22 penalties minutes given in the entire first period.<\/p>\n

The game settled down after that. Dylan Strome netted his fifth goal of the season to put Washington up 2-0. The Hurricanes got one back thanks to a Nikolaj Ehlers score, but it would be the only time the horn rang for Carolina in Raleigh, North Carolina.<\/p>\n

Chychrun\u2019s milestone score came in the third period and Ovechkin followed after that.<\/p>\n

“It was a pretty well-rounded game,” Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery said after the game, via NHL.com<\/a>. “I thought the first period was excellent, the way you need to start in this building. As challenging as it is, you need to get out on your front foot.”<\/p>\n

Andersen was chased from the pipes with about five minutes left in the third after his teammate Jordan Staal ran into him<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Capitals goalie Logan Thompson<\/a> stopped 30 of the 31 shots he faced in the game.<\/p>\n

Washington moved to 8-7-1 with the win and Carolina fell to 11-5 and their four-game winning streak was snapped.<\/p>\n
