TAMPA, Fla. -- Eric Fehr hopes a final-minute victory will jumpstart a positive stretch for the Washington Capitals. Fehr had two goals, including a tiebreaking redirection with 51.5 seconds left in the third period, as the Capitals beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-3 on Thursday night. "These are the kind of games that can be momentum builders for you," Fehr said. "It wasnt the prettiest way to win it, but scoring in the last couple of minutes, you could see the excitement on the bench. Hopefully we can carry that into tomorrow." Fehr was positioned in close when he tipped Mike Greens shot past Anders Lindback, helping the Capitals improve to 2-3-3 over their last eight games. Washington plays again Friday night at home against Toronto. Tampa Bay had pulled even at 3 on Ondrej Palats nifty tip-in of Matt Carles shot at 14:30 of the third. Martin St. Louis also assisted on the goal to move past Rick Tocchet into sole possession of 89th place on the NHLs career list with 953 points. The teams switched ends midway through each period due to what was called "poor ice" in the visitors crease. "I think the one crease, I dont know if it was a heating issue or something, but the ice was getting really soft," Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said. "There was a thought that it might be a disadvantage in that crease. It didnt have any effect on the game." "You kind of forget which end you were going to for a bit there," Fehr said. Washington also got goals from Mikhail Grabovski and Marcus Johansson. Tyler Johnson and B.J. Crombeen had the other goals for the Lightning. The Capitals won the first meeting this season 6-5 in a shootout on Dec. 10, a game in which Alex Ovechkin had four goals and Nicklas Backstrom contributed a goal and four assists. Ovechkin and Backstrom both had an assist Thursday. Washington took a 3-1 first-period lead, keyed by power-play goals from Grabovski and Johansson. After Grabovski scored on a redirection at 10:37, Johansson made it 3-1 from in close with 12 seconds left in the first. Crombeen stopped a personal 56-game goal drought from the right circle to get Tampa Bay within 3-2 at 6:45 of the second. A potential tying goal by Palat later in the period was disallowed when it was ruled he kicked the puck into the net. Johnson put the Lightning up 1-0 when he lifted a shot over Philipp Grubauer during a breakaway 4:08 into the game. Palat assisted on the goal to set a Tampa Bay rookie record by extending his point streak to eight games. Grubauer finished with 33 saves. Fehr tied it at 1 by beating Anders Lindback from the left circle at 7:04 of the first. Lindback stopped 16 shots, including 10 of 11 over the final two periods. "You hold them to 11 shots the last two periods, and its another one of those situations we had multiple chances to take the lead and we didnt," Cooper said. "We just broke down at the end."

Authentic Joe Mixon Jersey .5 million, two-year contract with the San Francisco Giants on Thursday, a deal that covers his final two arbitration seasons.Arsene Wenger was proud of Arsenals mental toughness after they scored a late equaliser to salvage a 1-1 draw against Man Utd on Saturday. Olivier Girouds 89th-minute header cancelled out Juan Matas opener at Old Trafford, extending the Gunners unbeaten run to 17 games in all competitions.Wenger conceded United deserved to go in front on 68 minutes as Arsenal suffered after half-time, but the Frenchman was pleased his side battled back to secure a point. Theo Walcott says Arsenal worked hard to earn a point at Old Trafford following their 1-1 draw The result in the end is positive because we were 1-0 down with two minutes to go, Wenger told Sky Sports. For the rest I think it was a bit scrappy with two teams who were well organised to defend well.We didnt manage enough to get them out of position. Our game was not quick enough in our passing and our penetration was not there as it can be.In the first half we had good possession but not many chances, and in the second half we suffered in the first 20 minutes. We camme out of the dressing room and they deserved to be in front.dddddddddddd.At least we had a good mental response to come back with a point. Olivier Giroud heads past David De Gea to equalise for Arsenal Substitute Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain set up the equaliser for fellow replacement Giroud, who has scored 10 Premier League goals for Arsenal off the bench, more than any other player.We had a good response and once again the players that came on made a massive difference, Wenger added.Chamberlain and Giroud were involved in the goal and it was great goal, just before the end.When you are 1-0 down and you come back to 1-1 it feels like a victory, you are happy. We lacked a bit of sharpness, what it is down to, I dont know.
