NHL: Washington gets three match points

Washington (SID) The Washington Capitals from the North American professional ice hockey league NHL are about to win the Stanley Cup for the first time. The team around superstar Alexander Owetschkin and German national goalkeeper Philipp Grubauer won game four against the Vegas Golden Knights 6:2 (3:0, 1:0, 2:2). The Capitals moved to 3-1 in the best-of-seven series and only need one win from the next three games to win the title. "That was an important victory, we played really well. But we can't let ourselves be led astray just because we are closer to the Cup than Vegas. A lot can still happen," said Grubauer, who did not play , the SID: "We have to really step on the gas. And then we'll see what happens." TJ Oshie (10th), Tom Wilson (17th) and Devante Smith-Pelly (20th) ensured a 3-0 lead in the first third, which John Carlson (36th) extended. League newcomer Vegas came closer again through James Neal (46th) and Reilly Smith (53rd) before Michal Kempny (54th) and Brett Connolly (59th) secured Washington's third win in a row. Play-off top scorer Yevgeny Kuznetsov contributed four assists. The Capitals can make everything clear in game five in Las Vegas on Thursday. In 1998, Washington reached the Stanley Cup final for the only time in the club's 44-year history, but lost the series 0-4 to the Detroit Red Wings.
