In hockey, the Washington Capitols lost their final preseason game last night at home against Boston in the Verizon Center. The game was tied at 4 all when regulation play ended. A scoreless overtime period led to a shootout where goals by Phil Kessel and Patrice Bergeron of the Bruins secured the victory for Boston. The Capitols ended the preseason with a final record of 5-1-1, their best performance since 1999. The official NHL season began overseas this past weekend. The New York Rangers played a two game series against the Tampa Bay Lightning in Prague. The Caps will have their first regular season game on Friday in Atlanta.
The Redskins had a dominant performance on Sunday as they beat Philidelphia, 23-17. Runningback Clinton Portis rushed for 145 yards and scored the go ahead touchdown in the 4th quarter. He later converted a crucial 4th down, with 2:39 left in the game. Philidelphia had used all of their timeouts and the Redskins were able to run out the clock from there. The Skins are now 4-1.
