Capitals beat Stars, former teammate Holtby 5-0

Associated Press  

DALLAS — Nicklas Backstrom had a goal and two assists and Vitek Vanecek had 30 saves for his second shutout of the season as the Washington Capitals beat former teammate Braden Holtby and the Dallas Stars 5-0 on Friday night. “I hate to see that; he had a tough night,” Backstrom said of Holtby, “but we all know what he’s done for our organization, for our club, for our fans.” The Stars, who retired Hall of Famer Sergei Zubov’s number before the game, lost after winning four straight, all on the road. Dallas coach Rick Bowness said of Holtby: “When the whole team is bad in front of him, we’re not going to point fingers at anybody.” Backstrom’s goal on a wrister from the left circle came with 3:10 left in the second period to complete out the scoring. On the penalty kill, they went 3 for 3 and held Dallas’ third-ranked home power play to one shot during John Carlson’s double-minor in the second period.
