WASHINGTON (AP) — Nathan Walker scored the go-ahead goal hours after being called up to help the St. Louis Blues beat the Washington Capitals 5-2 and snap a three-game skid. Brandon Saad and Brayden Schenn each had a goal and an assist and captain Ryan O’Reilly scored on the power play for St. Louis. David Perron added an empty-netter to extend his goal-scoring streak to seven games. Defenseman Torey Krug left in the second period with an upper-body injury. The Capitals lost their second consecutive game to fall to 7-2-1 in March.
