The Capitals completed their climb to first place, a position they haven’t held this late in 11 years, by beating Florida.
Steve Konowalchuk and Adam Oates scored first-period goals, the 13th of the season for both, Peter Bondra netted his 19th and Uhf Dahlen his 11th as the Capitals built a 4-0 lead and moved two points ahead of their Southeast Division rivals with 15 games to go.
On Jan. 16, the Capitals were at .500 and trailed the Panthers by 16 points. But they are 23-5-6 since Christmas.
