WASHINGTON — Tyler Myers and Kiefer Sherwood scored 41 seconds apart in the first period, and the Vancouver Canucks snapped Washington’s four-game winning streak with a 4-3 victory over the Capitals on Sunday.

Washington had allowed only eight goals in its first five games before the Canucks put three past Charlie Lindgren in the first period. The Capitals contested the second tally in which Myers flipped the puck into the net with Lindgren on his stomach following a lengthy goalmouth scramble. But a Washington challenge was unsuccessful, giving Vancouver a power play, and Sherwood converted a rebound to make it 3-0.

Elias Petterson and Teddy Blueger also scored for the Canucks. Down 4-0, the Caps got goals from Ryan Leonard, Jakob Chychrun and John Carlson to pull within one.
