In a dominant performance, the Washington Capitals defeated the St. Louis Blues 8-1, with Alex Ovechkin and Connor McMichael each netting two goals. Ovechkin, now with 863 career goals, inches closer to Wayne Gretzky's record, marking his 175th multi-goal game.

Logan Thompson continued his perfect start to the season with a 7-0-0 record, while St. Louis struggled, with Scott Perunovich scoring their only goal. The Blues remain mired in power play difficulties, failing to convert in their last five games.
