Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Mike Knuble scored with 1:09 left in overtime, and the Washington Capitals edged the Chicago Blackhawks, 4-3, to extend their winning streak to eight games. An extra five minutes became necessary to determine a victor after Chicago captain Jonathan Toews tied the game on a power play with 38.5 seconds remaining in the third period. In overtime, Knuble parked himself in front of Corey Crawford, took a pass from Marcus Johansson and dragged the puck to his forehand before flipping it over the goaltenders glove. Johansson atoned for committing the hooking penalty that led to Toews marker. It was a real heads up play by Marcus, Knuble said of the goal. It was a very smart play by him. I just kind of put my stick out there. Jason Arnott, Brooks Laich and Boyd Gordon also tallied for the Southeast Division-leading Capitals, who have won five straight at Verizon Center. Braden Holtby, making his third consecutive start, made 27 saves. Washington moved within one point of idle Philadelphia for the Eastern Conferences best record. Nick Leddy and Tomas Kopecky also lit the lamp for Chicago, which has lost three in a row after winning eight straight. Crawford stopped 38 shots in defeat. These games arent going to get any easier, Toews said. Were good enough to give ourselves a chance at two points every night, so its all on us. Laich had given Washington a 3-2 lead at 6:23 of the third, but the Blackhawks were awarded a power play with 1:50 remaining. Chicago then pulled Crawford to create a 6-on-4 advantage. Duncan Keith let go a one-timer from the right point that sailed wide of the net. The puck, though, bounced off the end boards and came out the other side to Toews at the left post. Toews wasted little time banking the puck off the sprawled netminder. Leddy opened the scoring 4:46 into the contest, but Washington grabbed a 2-1 lead in the first period on goals from Gordon and Arnott. A little over a minute after Leddy turned on the red light, Johansson went off for hooking. Unlike his later infraction, it was the Capitals who took advantage as Gordon pumped home a short-handed goal at 6:11. Arnott scored a power-play goal with 54 seconds left. Chicago pulled even at 3:09 of the second period when Kopecky beat Holtby from a sharp angle. GAME NOTES:Washington defenseman Dennis Wideman collected two assists...The Capitals notched their 40th win of the season, marking the first time the franchise has recorded as many wins in four straight seasons.. The previous mark was three, from 1983-84 through 1985-86...Washington improved to 22-16-4 when allowing the first goal.

SAN DIEGO -- The tougher South Course at Torrey Pines suited Kyle Stanley just fine Friday in the Farmers Insurance Open. Stanley overcame a double bogey early in his round by running off four birdies on the front nine for a 4-under 68, giving him a one-shot lead over Brandt Snedeker going into the weekend. Snedeker, who first gained notoriety as a rookie at Torrey Pines when he shot 61 on the North Course, had a 64 on the North to make a swift climb up the leaderboard. He is coming off hip surgery at the end of last year and made his season debut at the Humana Challenge last week by getting into the hunt. He tied for eighth, and here he is again. "Im certainly surprised that I played this well this fast," Snedeker said. "Normally, it takes me a while to get the rust off. But my practice at home went really, really well. I was actually chomping at the bit to get out here because I knew I was playing well. "Hopefully, that can happen through the weekend." Stanley, long off the tee and as polished as any of the PGA Tour rookies who won last year, was at 14-under 130. A tournament already missing Tiger Woods will have to do without hometown star Phil Mickelson on the weekend. He shot himself out of the tournament with a 77 on the South in the opening round, and didnt make nearly enough birdies on the North to make the cut. Mickelson had to settle for a 68, missing the cut for the first time in 10 years at Torrey Pines. "Were going to have perfect weather out here at Torrey, and Id love to be playing," Mickelson said. Sang-Moon Bae, a PGA Tour rookie who is No. 34 in the world, had a 67 to match the best score on the South for the second round. That put him two shots behind at 12-under 132, along with Martin Flores, who also had a 67 on the South. Hunter Mahan shot 65 on the North, while FedEx Cup champion Bill Haas had a 71 on the South. They were three shots behind. The cut came at 2-under 142, and there will be another cut Saturday because more than 78 players are still around. That group includes Geoff Ogilvy, who birdied his last hole on the North for a 70, and Ernie Els, who was at 3-under 141. David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., (66), Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., (72) and Calgarys Stephen Ames (72) all missed the cut. Stanley goes about his work quietly. He prefers boring golf of fairways and greens, though there was a little too much excitement when his 7-iron from the rough jumped on his and went over the green, down the slope and into the hazard. He chipped to five feet and missed the putt, taking double bogey, effectively wiping out the two birdies he had made. He followed that with a bogey from the bunker on the par-3 16th. "I got off to a ggood start, and it was tough to take," Stanley said.dddddddddddd"But youve just got to be patient out here." That he was. He had birdie putts on the last 11 holes he played and birdied all the par 5s. As a testament to his length, he hit his tee shot 346 yards on the par-5 ninth, and hit 2-iron from 270 yards. "Not a very good one," he said, though it left him an up-and-down from the bunker for one last birdie. The South played three shots more difficult in the warm sunshine along the Pacific, but at least everyone knows where they stand going into the last two rounds. Stanley likes his chances, for no other reason than the South is long, and he is hitting his drives where hes aiming at the moment. A native of the Seattle area who went to school at Clemson, Stanley was on the verge of joining the cast of rookie winners last year when he had a one-shot lead playing the last hole at the John Deere Classic. He made bogey from the bunker, and in the final group behind him, Steve Stricker made an improbable birdie for a one-shot win. "I wasnt very discouraged," Stanley said. "I think I made more money that week than I had thus far, so it was good. It was nice to really get in contention with a few holes left. Thats kind of the goal for this year, to just keep working hard and keep trying to get myself back there." Snedeker knows the feeling. He played in the final group as a rookie at Torrey Pines, but couldnt keep Woods from another win on this public course along the Pacific. Even so, third place was enough to send Snedeker to keeping his card, the immediate goal of most rookies. Now, hes looking for yet another win. "Im driving the ball as good as Ive ever driven it in my career, which isnt saying a lot, but its saying enough for me right now," Snedeker said. "Im still putting the ball really, really well. So Im excited with where I am after the first two days. I feel like as good as Ive played, Ive left a few out there, which is a good feeling to know my game is where it needs to be."
