Calle Johansson also had a goal and two assists for the Capitals, who outshot the Whalers 35-10 in building a 3-1 lead after two periods on Tuesday. Washington, which finished with a 46-16 shot advantage, got three of its four goals on the power play.
Juneau, who was obtained Monday from Boston for defenseman Al Iafrate, wasted little time in making his presence felt. The center got the second assist on a power-play goal by Johansson with 4:56 elapsed and helped set up the go-ahead goal in the second period.
Red Wings 3, Blackhawks 1. In Detroit, Nicklas Lidstrom and Vyacheslav Kozlov scored first-period goals and Chris Osgood made 19 saves to lead the Red Wings to a 3-1 victory over Chicago.

Rangers 4, Flames 4. In Calgary, Alberta, a goal by newly acquired Stephane Matteau with 13.6 seconds left in the third period earned the New York Rangers a 4-4 tie with the Flames. Matteau, who was acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday, took a pass from Esa Tikkanen and beat Mike Vernon out in front.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
