WASHINGTON - Alex Ovechkin played his weakest game of the season, Washington Capitals coach Barry Trotz said.No matter. He still helped his team beat the Florida Panthers.The Capitals scored on all three shots in the shootout, including the clincher by Ovechkin, and Justin Peters made 20 saves to lift Washington over the Panthers 2-1 on Saturday night.Thats nice run support, Peters cracked following his first start.Jason Chimera scored his first goal of the young season for the Capitals (3-0-2), who improved to 10-0-1 in their last 11 meetings against their former division rival.Brad Boyes power play goal for Florida (1-3-1) tied the game early in the third period.Each team scored on its first shootout attempt, and Nicklas Backstrom then put the Capitals ahead 2-1. After Peters stopped Jussi Jokinen, the Capitals turned to Ovechkin.The NHL leader in goals last season struggled in shootouts, finishing 2 of 16. He missed his only prior chance this season.Trotz passed on using Ovechkin in Tuesdays shootout loss to San Jose, and didnt exactly pick him this time, either.I honestly didnt make the call on third shooter, Trotz said. I went over to (assistant Blaine Forsythe) and said, Youve got to make the call on the third shooter.Im not taking any credit for that.When Ovechkin later noted to his coach about being skipped previously, Trotz told his star, Youre right and I didnt put you in today.(Ovechkin) showed some patience and he got the goalie to bite, Trotz said. Once the goalie was down, you know its going upstairs.One of the NHL leaders this season with five goals, Ovechkin failed to record a point for the first time in four games.That was probably (Ovechkins) weakest game so far this year for him because hes been pretty outstanding, Trotz said.The Panthers have scored five goals in five games. They did earn another road point following Fridays win at Buffalo.Definitely a big point tonight, Panthers coach Gerard Gallant said. We didnt have a great first two periods.In the third, I thought we picked it up and we scored a power play goal.In a matchup of backups, Peters outdueled Al Montoya. Washington outshot Florida 28-21 overall.The Capitals had averaged five goals in their previous three games, including a 6-2 victory over New Jersey on Thursday. They didnt keep up that potent pace, but their defensive effort ensured another scuffling outing for the Panthers.Florida was 1 for 21 on the power play before Boyes scored.Washington hasnt lost at home to Florida since Dec. 9, 2010.Situated in the left corner below the goal line, Eric Fehr spotted Chimera open just outside the far post. After receiving the pinpoint centring pass, Chimera faked Montoya out of position before backhanding the puck into the open net for a 1-0 lead 17:12 in.Neither team scored in the second period, but Brooks Laichs tip-in for Washington was disallowed because of a high-sticking call.Laich exited the game following a third period collision and didnt return. Trotz said Laich sustained an upper-body injury, but offered no additional information.Washington held Florida without a shot on its first three power plays, but the Panthers broke that cycle early in the third period.Peters stopped Sean Bergenheims close-range attempt, but Boyes put in the rebound 4:27 into the third to make it 1-1.Peters made his first start since Jan. 19 when he was with Carolina.NOTES: Dylan Olsen earned an assist on Boyes goal. ...

The latest example came Sunday when an announced crowd of 22,000 turned out at Safeco Field for Richard Shermans charity softball game. After being played in a minor league baseball park in Tacoma last season, Shermans event filled the entire lower bowl of the Seattle Mariners home stadium from one foul pole to the other. Shermans event featured a litany of Seahawks teammates, including quarterback Russell Wilson, defensive end Michael Bennett, wide receiver Doug Baldwin and safety Earl Thomas. Also playing was Kobe Bryant, who said he hadnt swung a bat in 20 years. It certainly didnt look that way in his first at-bat, with Bryant hitting a solo homer over the temporary fence in the outfield. "I respect these guys tremendously and its humbling, its not something you can put into words," Sherman said before the game started. "You dont wake up one day and be like Im going to have Kobe Bryant, Nate Robinson, Lawyer Milloy playing in my softball gamee, and Macklemore.dddddddddddd Its something that happened and youre numb to the feeling until like years later when you realize that was a pretty incredible event." Sherman was able to draw from a wide cross section of Seattle sports stars to participate in the event to benefit his foundation. Along with current NBA players Bryant, Robinson and Jamal Crawford, former Seattle SuperSonics stars Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton took part, as did Chris Hansen, the investor hoping to bring the NBA back to Seattle. "Hes a psycho like me," Bryant said of Sherman. "I think its just mutual respect and I have a great amount of respect for people who work at their craft. When him and I met, we just talked and hit it off." Bryant said it was his first time back in Seattle since the departure of the SuperSonics for Oklahoma City after the 2008 season. After earlier saying the Eagles were his favourite NFL team, Bryant admitted he needed to make up for that statement. "Ive always enjoyed coming here. Id much rather come here in the post-season than Oklahoma," Bryant said.
