Hawks let another one slip away. Caps rally from 3-0 hole, win 4-3 in OT

The bad news is the Blackhawks lost for the second day in a row. Worse, they blew a 3-0 lead and bowed in overtime. Worse yet, they could’nt take advantage of Alex Ovechkin’s D.Q. and five minute penalty. Olympian Nicklas Backstrom raced up the ice and scored with 1:50 left in overtime Sunday and the Washington Capitals completed a remarkable comeback without star Ovechkin to beat the Hawks 4-3. Backstrom skated up the side, went around Brent Seabrook in the left circle and beat Antti Niemi for his second goal of the game.Ovechkin, the two-time MVP and the league’s leading scorer this season, got a game misconduct in the first period for knocking Brian Campbell into the boards.Washington fell behind 3-0 after two periods but rallied with a quick three-goal spurt in the final period to tie the game, showing why it has the NHL’s top record and also is the highest scoring team in the league.Jonathan Toews scored twice for the Hawks.
