Samsonov made 18 of his 38 saves in the first period, and the Washington Capitals edged the Carolina Hurricanes 4-3 on Friday night. ''We allowed them to get the momentum, and he was really, really sharp, definitely the difference-maker tonight,'' Washington coach Todd Reirden said. Evgeny Kuznetsov and Lars Eller each had a goal and an assist for the Capitals, who had dropped two in a row.
