WASHINGTON (AP) Logan Thompson earned his second shutout of the season, Jakob Chychrun scored twice and the Washington Capitals rebounded from a pair of ugly losses, beating the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-0 on Thursday night.
The Capitals lost at Winnipeg and Minnesota by a combined 10-1, but Aliaksei Protas and Chychrun scored in the first period against Toronto. Thompson made the early lead stand up, finishing with 22 saves for his eighth career shutout.
Chychrun made it 3-0 with a third-period goal, his 14th of the season, which tied him with Alex Ovechkin for second on the team behind Tom Wilsons 17. Chychrun nearly completed the hat trick, hitting the post with about 3 1/2 minutes to play.
John Carlson also scored in the final period.
Sonny Milano hit the post in the first period for Washington, and Protas opened the scoring with his 11th goal of the season. Justin Sourdif did plenty to earn an assist on the play, controlling the puck in front, then stickhandling around goalie Dennis Hildeby and sliding it in front for a tap-in by Protas.
Chychrun scored with Hildeby out of position when the puck caromed to him off the end boards.
Chychruns second goal came seconds after a bit of a gaffe by the Capitals defenseman. He passed the puck toward the right point, apparently thinking a teammate would be there, but the only person nearby was an official.
After the puck came out of the zone, three Toronto players went off for a change, and Chychrun was able to cruise back in with the puck and beat Hildeby from the left circle.

Maple Leafs: At Nashville on Saturday night.
Capitals: Host Detroit on Saturday.

华盛顿（好意思联社）——洛根·汤普森本赛季第二次零封敌手，雅各布·希钦梅开二度，华盛顿齐门队从两场惨败中反弹，在周四晚以4比0打败多伦多枫叶队。
齐门东说念主队在温尼伯和明尼苏达的两场比赛中以总比分1-10惨败，但在对阵多伦多的首节比赛中，阿列克谢·普罗塔斯和奇恰伦先后破门得分。门将汤普森告捷守住了球队的跳跃上风，全场完成22次扑救，收成劳动生存第八场零封。
奇克伦在第三节攻入一球，将比分改写为3比0，这是他本赛季的第14粒进球，与亚历克斯·奥维奇金并列队内第二弓手，仅次于汤姆·威尔逊的17球。奇克伦几乎完成帽子戏法，在终场前约3分半钟时击中立柱。
约翰·卡尔森在临了一节也有得分入账。
华盛顿队的索尼·米拉诺在首节击中立柱，而普罗塔斯则以本赛季第11粒进球首开记录。贾斯汀·苏尔迪夫在本次弱点中孝顺枢纽助攻——他先是在门前闭幕住球，随后绕过门将丹尼斯·希尔德比，将球轻推至门前，由普罗塔斯完成垫射破门。
奇克伦趁希尔迪比失位之际，收拢从端板反弹而来的冰球破门得分。
奇克伦的第二粒进球源于齐门队防护球员的一次小乖僻。该球员将球传向右路点位，显然认为队友会在该处策应，但隔壁独一的策应者却是又名裁判。
冰球被突围出守区后，三名多伦多队球员下场换东说念主，奇克伦顺便带球庸俗突进，在左圈隔壁攻破希尔迪比的防护得分。
接下来
枫叶队：周六晚客场对阵纳什维尔强抢者队。
齐门队：周六主场迎战底特律队。
