The St. Louis Blues showcased their offensive prowess in a decisive 5-2 victory over the Washington Capitals at Capital One Arena. The Blues opened the scoring with an impressive goal by Philip Broberg, who netted two goals in the first period. Washington fought back, equalizing through Pierre-Luc Dubois, but could not keep pace as St. Louis regained the lead and maintained it with a strong second period performance.

Despite netting two goals, Washington's defense faltered, allowing St. Louis to capitalize on their chances, including a power play. Capitals' goaltender Charlie Lindgren faced 30 shots and made several notable saves but succumbed to pressure late in the game. With this loss, the Capitals' lead in the Metropolitan Division tightened as they now sit only 12 points clear of the Carolina Hurricanes.
