The Washington Capitals continue their impressive run, defeating the Edmonton Oilers 3-2. Pierre-Luc Dubois leads the way with a goal and an assist, while Tom Wilson and Matt Roy also contribute to the win.
The league-leading Washington Capitals continued their dominant run, securing their fifth consecutive victory with a 3-2 triumph over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday. Pierre-Luc Dubois spearheaded the Capitals' offensive charge, contributing a goal and an assist, while Tom Wilson and Matt Roy also found the back of the net. The Capitals' impressive performance extended their streak of earning at least a point to an NHL -high 11 games, boasting an 8-0-3 record in that span.
The Oilers, missing star forward Connor McDavid due to a three-game suspension, faced a tough challenge against a resilient Capitals squad. Leon Draisaitl and Corey Perry managed to reply for Edmonton, but it wasn't enough to overcome Washington's relentless pressure. Dubois, who has emerged as a key force for the Capitals this season, now has 38 points in 47 games, showcasing a significant improvement from his previous year with the Los Angeles Kings. Draisaitl, meanwhile, extended his points streak to seven games and reached the 70-point mark, scoring his league-leading 34th goal of the season. His first-period goal marked another milestone, tying him with Wayne Gretzky for second place in Oilers franchise history for most goals scored in the first five minutes of a game. Despite Edmonton's efforts to control the pace of the game, Washington capitalized on their opportunities to secure the victory.
