Capitals Ring In New Year With Classic Win Over Blackhawks

(Reuters) - Troy Brouwer scored a powerplay goal with 13 seconds left in regulation as the Washington Capitals rang in the New Year with a thrilling 3-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks at the outdoor Winter Classic on Thursday. Brouwer, who won a Stanley Cup with the Blackhawks, provided a few more New Year's Day fireworks in the U.S. capital when he spun quickly and blasted a shot past the out-stretched glove of Chicago netminder Corey Crawford at Nationals Park.
