WASHINGTON - Matt Niskanen and the NHL's top power play unit cashed in as the Washington Capitals outlasted the youthful and overmatched Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 on Wednesday night.

The Capitals reached 98 points for the season and matched the 1995-96 Detroit Red Wings for the most victories through 63 games with 47. The Maple Leafs remained in last place in the league with 52 points.

Niskanen's winner came after Washington relinquished a 2-0 lead built on goals by Taylor Chorney and Alex Ovechkin. Nikita Soshnikov scored his first NHL goal, and Colin Greening scored his second of the season for the Maple Leafs.

BLACKHAWKS 5, RED WINGS 2

DETROIT (AP) — Patrick Kane had a goal and an assist 1:24 apart on power plays in the second period, and Artemi Panarin scored twice to help the Chicago Blackhawks rout the Detroit Red Wings.

Kane finished with three points, extending his NHL-leading total to 88 to match his career high set during the 2009-10 season.

Corey Crawford didn't give up a goal until midway through the third period when Brad Richards scored. Gustav Nyquist had Detroit's other goal.

Andrew Ladd restored the three-goal lead in the third period in his second game back with the Blackhawks. Panarin scored his second goal 35 seconds later. Brent Seabrook also scored for Chicago.
