The Capitals halted a three-game losing streak on Monday by downing the visiting Edmonton Oilers by a 4-2 count. It was Washingtons first win since beating Calgary in a shootout on Oct. 3. Alex Ovechkin tallied a goal and an assist to lead the Capitals to Mondays home win over the Oilers. Ovechkin, who led the NHL with 32 goals in last seasons lockout-shortened campaign, already has six goals and nine points through six games in 2013-14. Nicklas Backstrom assisted on three goals, while Braden Holtby turned away 28- of-30 shots to help Washington improve its home record this season to 2-2-0. "Both teams were very desperate," said Caps forward Brooks Laich. "Theyre a team thats struggling as well. And for us, losing three in a row in regulation is not acceptable at any time." Holtby also earned his first win of the season and is 1-3-0 with a 3.56 goals against average in five games. He is expected to get a second straight start in net on Wednesday. Washington has two games left on its current five-game homestand and will close the residency Saturday against Columbus. The Rangers, meanwhile, are still scuffling through their season-opening nine- game road trip. The club is just 1-4-0 on the swing so far and is still nearly two weeks away from its home debut at Madison Square Garden on Oct. 28 against Montreal. New York has lost its last three games in regulation and has been outscored by a combined 20-5 margin in those contests. The good news is the teams most recent loss -- Saturdays 5-3 setback in St. Louis -- was the clubs best effort since posting its lone win of the season on Oct. 7 in Los Angeles. The bad news is the club still surrendered five goals or more for the third straight game. The Rangers did receive a pair of power-play tallies from Ryan Callahan in defeat, while Brad Richards notched a goal and an assist. "In the third, we just ran out of gas," Rangers head coach Alain Vigneault admitted. "Four games in six nights. You could tell the effort was there, the willingness was there, but the legs were having a tough time." Martin Biron stopped only 13-of-17 shots before being removed in favor of Henrik Lundqvist to begin the third period. Biron and forward Arron Asham have since been placed on waivers by the club and replaced on the roster by goaltender Cam Talbot and forward J.T. Miller, who were both recalled from Hartford of the AHL on Tuesday. Rumors have been flying that Biron is going to announce his retirement soon, but the veteran goalie stopped short of saying hes going to call it quits. "I think there are many options ahead of me," Biron said Monday after being waived. "Its not the best-case scenario obviously, but I am going to figure it all out. Lundqvist will get the start on Tuesday as the five-time Vezina Trophy finalist and one-time winner tries to shake off his awful start to the season. The Swedish netminder is 1-3-0 with a 4.21 goals against average in 2013-14, but he is 7-3-3 with a 2.67 GAA in 24 career regular-season games against the Caps. Washington and the Rangers have split the last six meetings in the regular season. The clubs met for the fourth time in five postseasons in the 2013 playoffs and the Rangers downed the Caps in seven games of a first-round series. Discount Shoes . Not that Durant cared.

In fact, were taking up the matter with sports officials across the board to ensure the matter is sorted out at the earliest.According to basketball rules, headgear, hair accessories, and jewelry are not allowed to be worn in international competition. Such restrictions were initially designed for the safety of players, but have recently been challenged on cultural and religious grounds.The rule came into focus at Incheon as the Qatar women refused to play without their Muslim headscarves, missed two games and took an early flight home.Also, two Sikh players in the Indian team - who had been asked to take off their turbans at this years Asia Cup - cut their hair short ahead of the games so they did not have to wear turbans.Sikhs are required to keep long hair and wear a turbaan according to custom.

Though basketball is very strict with this rule, other sports like badminton, bowling, shooting and even football allow for hijabs and turbans.Its an internal federation matter but its an overall policy which has to be adopted and we cannot discriminate. Theyre playing every other game in the world so they should not be stopped from this one, he said.Personally, I think it is a wrong thing because we should respect the religions of people, added Randhir, himself a Sikh. It is the hijab for the Muslims on one side and on the other side its the Sikhs, who have to play without turbans.Earlier this month, FIBA said it was launching a two-year trial phase allowing some players to wear head coverings. But the Swiss-based FIBA issued a clarifying statement saying it allows exceptions to be applied only at the national level and the Asian Games is an international event.FIBA will evaluate the rule again next year and determine whether to allow head coverings at some level of international competition from next summer. A full review in 2016 will decide if it will become a permanent rule change after the Rio Olympics. ' ' '
