Connor McMichael had a goal and an assist, and the Washington Capitals snapped Chicago’s four-game win streak with a 5-1 over the visiting Blackhawks on Friday night.

Alex Ovechkin, Anthony Beauvillier, Ethen Frank and Justin Sourdif also scored for the Capitals. John Carlson and Martin Fehervary each had two assists, and Logan Thompson made 23 saves.

Connor Bedard returned for Chicago after being sidelined by a shoulder injury, but the Blackhawks were hit hard by an illness going around the locker room. Goaltenders Spencer Knight and Arvid Soderblom were scratched, along with forward Ilya Mikheyev and defenseman Louis Crevier.

The Capitals grabbed control with three goals in the first period. Beauvillier tipped home a great pass from Fehervary at 4:03, and a streaking McMichael slipped a shot between Commesso’s legs at 15:07. Frank added his seventh of the season with 1:06 left.

Mammoth 4, Blues 2: Nick Schmaltz scored twice and assisted on another goal to lead Utah to a home victory over St. Louis.

Schmaltz now has 43 points in 40 career games against St. Louis. Lawson Crouse and Sean Durzi also scored goals to help the Mammoth win their third straight game.
