Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk and Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson put on a show Monday night, engaging in a heated first-period fight that had the crowd roaring. The two heavyweights squared off late in the opening frame with less than a minute of playing time left in the first period of the Senators' on-the-road clash against the Capitals.

The Rangers had a lead with less than 10 minutes to play against the Eastern Conference-leading Capitals and let it slip through their fingers. The resulting 3-2 overtime loss on Wednesday at Madison Square Garden prevented their first three-game winning streak since mid-November.

Tom Wilson fought Brady Tkachuk late in the first period, scored on the power play in the second and assisted on Martin Fehervary's goal in the third to help the Washington Capitals end their season-worst losing streak at three games by beating the Ottawa Senators 5-4 in a shootout.
