    Braden Holtby only needed to make 15 saves for a shutout on a drab evening of relatively little action, so even he was willing to acknowledge what plenty of others were thinking.

    "It was more of a game that everyone thinks is out of the NHL. It was like going back in time," the Washington Capitals goalie said. "I don't think we created too many hockey fans tonight, but we got a win."

    Just like league-leading Washington always does when it plays at home -- every single time in 2017.

    The Capitals won their franchise-record 14th consecutive game in D.C., beating the New Jersey Devils 1-0 Thursday night, thanks to Holtby's eighth shutout of the season and rookie forward Jakub Vrana's power-play goal with about 12 1/2 minutes left.
