SUNDAY’S ROUNDUP

Gustafsson, Kuemper lead Caps past Blue Jackets

ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON – Nicklas Backstrom
and Tom Wilson made their season de-
buts and the Washington Capitals beat
the Columbus Blue Jackets 1-0 on Sun-
day.

Erik Gustafsson scored 2:43 into the
game and Darcy Kuemper stopped 37
shots for his fourth shutout of the sea-
son and second in five games.

Elvis Merzlikins had 18 saves for Co-
lumbus, which has lost 10 of its last 12
games.

Backstrom and Wilson took the ice at
Capital One Arena for the first time
since the first round of the 2022 Stanley
Cup playoffs in May. Both underwent
major procedures in the offseason –
Backstrom had hip resurfacing surgery
and Wilson had ACL surgery.

seven of the eight men’s World Cup sla-
loms since the Beijing Olympics last
February. Braathen and McGrath have
two of those wins apiece.

Braathen, whose mother is Brazil-
ian, also won the first slalom of the sea-
son last month at Val d’Isere, France.

The American-born McGrath got his
best result since ending last season
with back-to-back slalom wins. His fa-
ther Felix raced for the United States
team in the 1980s including at the 1988
Calgary Olympics.

McGrath delighted another noisy
crowd in Adelboden by emulating
Swiss downhill great Didier Cuche’s
trademark post-race move – kicking off
his right ski with an end-over-end spin
and catching it with his right hand.
