The Capitals got goals from John Carlson and Marcus Johansson, as they lost their season high fourth consecutive game.

Alex Ovechkin didn’t score for the 10th straight game, which is the longest scoring drought of his career.

The Ducks held a pregame ceremony to mark the 10-year anniversary of the their Stanley Cup Championship.  Perry and Getzlaf were two of the youngest players on the team then, and Randy Carlyle is behind the Ducks bench once again.

The Capitals played without defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk, who was serving the first of his two-game suspension for charging at Kings defenseman Kevin Gravel on Saturday night.

Anaheim will return to action on Wednesday night against the Blues, at the Honda Center.
