WASHINGTON -- Capitals coach Adam Oates took a different approach after his teams third straight loss. Tedy Bruschi Jersey . Instead of dwelling on the negative, Oates focused on what was good about the clubs recent play. It worked. One day after Oates positive power talk during practice, the Capitals scored three goals in less than four minutes of the second period en route to a 4-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night. Joel Ward, Alex Ovechkin and Troy Brouwer scored 3:55 apart -- including two power-play goals -- and Washington was on its way to snapping its skid. "We feel confidence here. Of course we were kind of upset about the beginning of the year," Ovechkin said. "We win only one game." Ovechkin scored his sixth goal and added an assist in the outburst. Nicklas Backstrom assisted on all three goals for Washington (2-4). "Finally, we get the lead and we play with the lead like most of the game," Ovechkin said. With the score tied at 1, Ward took advantage of a power play and scored his first goal of the season at 10:06. Ovechkin added his sixth goal 3:12 later, and Brouwer -- during another power play -- netted his first 43 seconds after that. Brooks Laich scored Washingtons first goal of the game. The Capitals scored four times on 20 shots against Edmonton goalie Jason LaBarbera. The Oilers have given up at least four goals in each of their six games. "I thought everything was going fine until we brought a puck back into our zone, and that basically started a few dominos to fall," Edmonton coach Dallas Eakins said. The Oilers (1-4-1) have four games left on their season-high six-game road trip. "It goes back to the adage of every moment in the game is important. For three minutes we went backward, and it cost us the game," Eakins said. Boyd Gordon and Will Acton, with the first of his NHL career, scored for Edmonton. The Oilers took a 1-0 lead 9:48 in on Gordons fourth goal. Justin Schultz recovered a loose puck near centre ice, skated down the right wing and sent a pass to Gordon, who flipped a shot past goalie Braden Holtby. Just 3:53 later, Laich scored his first of the season when he fired a shot past LaBarbera. Ward gave the Capitals a 2-1 lead one second after Brouwer and Edmontons David Perron returned to the ice following roughing penalties. Washington had been working with a 4-on-3 power play, and patiently moved the puck in front of the net until Ward scored. Barely three minutes later, it was Ovechkins turn, and then Brouwers. "We were kind of in a tough spot after last game, 1-4, losing ground a little bit," Brouwer said. "Guys are always a little bit upset when theyre not producing because they feel like theyre not helping their team out as much as they could, especially if youre expected to score." Ovechkin was called for interfering with Mike Brown at 12:19 of the third period. A melee ensued with Ovechkin, Brown, the Oilers Luke Gazdic, and Washingtons Mike Green and Karl Alzner all sent off the ice for various infractions. Acton cut the Oilers deficit to 4-2 with 1:42 left in the game. By then, the Capitals had been playing with a three-goal lead for 24 minutes, and that helped boost their confidence. "Youre not scared to make mistakes. Youre not as tentative," Holtby said. NOTES: Edmonton F Nail Yakupov was a healthy scratch for the second straight game.

PAUL, Minn. - When the Minnesota Wild hired Mike Yeo as a first-time NHL head coach, he fit their criteria for a bench boss who could develop several top, young players. Yeo has undergone his own growth in that time, too, and the Wild were satisfied enough with the results on both fronts to make another commitment to him. After his three-year contract extension was finalized last weekend, Yeo appeared with general manager Chuck Fletcher at a news conference Friday to discuss the deal and the teams future. The Wild advanced to the second round of the playoffs for only the second time in franchise history, and Fletcher praised Yeos ability to help keep the players on an even keel during some challenging stretches as injuries piled up. "He improved by leaps and bounds, and its not just understanding that you have to make those adjustments. Its the confidence to make them, and the confidence to sell them to your team," Fletcher said, recalling their conversation from last summer about areas where both the Wild and Yeo could improve. In the final year of his contract, Yeo was in a precarious place after a six-game losing streak to finish 2013. But despite notable absences by Mikko Koivu, Zach Parise and the top two goalies, Yeo and his staff not only held together the group but guided a resurgence that transcended the regular season. "Id be hard-pressed to sit here and name one player that wasnt better now than what he was at the beginning of the year," Fletcher said, adding: "The funny thing: At the exact point in the year when you thought wed fall apart, we actually became a team. And theres a lot of work that went into that, and again Mike and his staff deserve a lot of that." Yeo, who will turn 41 next month, has a career record of 104-82-26, plus 7-11 in the playoffs. Jimmy Garoppolo Jersey. Though Fletcher waited until June to address his status, Yeo said there was never a point at which he became nervous. Thats a hallmark of his, actually, as evidenced by his demeanour through and triumph over the losing streaks and fluke injuries of the 2013-14 season. Yeo gave four different goalies 10 or more starts each, and the carousel didnt stop spinning once the playoffs came. Darcy Kuemper and Ilya Bryzgalov both took turns, due to injury and performance, but the Wild beat Colorado 4-3 in a first-round thriller and gave Chicago fits until falling 4-2. "The team took on Mikes demeanour, and I think that helped us get through," Fletcher said. "Hey, were down 2-0. No big deal. They come back late and score? No big deal. We just kept finding a way to hang around and hang around until we could put the last shot in the net." Yeo showed a knack as a tactician during those series, too, making plenty of adjustments to his front lines that paid off against a pair of opponents in the Avalanche and Blackhawks that boast a lot of fast, skilled forwards. "The line switches, thats something I tried to make a conscious effort of at the start of the year, not only for me to grow as a coach but also for our team to get more used to it," Yeo said, adding: "But its always the players that make you look smart." Yeo said he didnt feel any more pressure to win this season than in his first one. He also pondered a question about when he felt the Wild truly clicked in the last few months before punting on the answer. "It never really gets to that point," he said, laughing. "I wish it did."
