Miles Wood's tiebreaking goal in the third period propelled the Colorado Avalanche to a 2-1 victory over the Washington Capitals. Mikko Rantanen also contributed a goal, helping the Avalanche secure their fifth win in six games.

Alexandar Georgiev made 29 saves, earning his fourth consecutive win after recovering from an upper-body injury. The Capitals, missing star Alex Ovechkin for several weeks due to a broken fibula, saw their three-game winning streak come to an end.
