WASHINGTON -- Alex Ovechkin scored his 896th NHL goal, but the Columbus Blue Jackets kept their Stanley Cup Playoff hopes alive with a 4-1 win against the Washington Capitals at Capital One Arena on Sunday.

Adam Fantilli scored twice and Jet Greaves came up big again for the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets, who kept their playoff hopes alive by spurring a 4-1 comeback victory Sunday over the Washington Capitals.

A hard hit on Washington Capitals rookie Ryan Leonard turned Saturday’s game in Columbus into something closer to a brawl than a hockey match. The Capitals were routed 7–0 by the Columbus Blue Jackets, but the lopsided score became a footnote when a second-period fight between Leonard and the Jackets' Sean Kuraly set off a chain reaction of chaos.
