Alex Ovechkin recorded his 12th career hat trick and added an assist, and the Capitals survived a late rally by the Panthers for a 4-3 win on Saturday night, according to an ESPN.com report.
Ovechkin scored twice on the power play, and weaved through traffic for his other goal, as the Capitals improved to 8-2-1 in their last 11 games in completing a four-game season sweep of the Panthers.
