Pierre-Luc Dubois propelled the Washington Capitals to a 3-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers, marking their fifth consecutive win. Dubois scored a goal and delivered an assist, while Tom Wilson and Matt Roy added to the scoreline. The Capitals are in remarkable form, having secured at least a point in 11 straight games, with an 8-0-3 record during this stretch.

In contrast, the Oilers, who had won eight of their last nine games, faced back-to-back losses, especially missing star forward Connor McDavid due to a suspension. Leon Draisaitl, however, shone brightly by scoring his league-leading 34th goal and extending his points streak to seven games. Draisaitl's performance also highlighted his association with Oilers history, as he is now tied with Wayne Gretzky for the second-most goals scored in the first five minutes of games.
