    It was second time lucky for Mike Green, and the Washington Capitals are suddenly showing signs of making a legitimate late-season charge up the Eastern Conference standings.

    After watching his shot deflect off the post and wide of the net 7 minutes into the third period, Green got a much better bounce on another shot from the same spot with 40 seconds remaining.

    Green's goal -- which struck the left post and banked in off the back of Sabres goalie Jhonas Enroth's arm -- capped the Capitals' two-goal, third-period rally. Matt Hendricks and Alex Ovechkin then scored on Washington's two shootout attempts to seal a 4-3 win on Saturday night.
