The Washington Capitals secured their fifth consecutive win, defeating the Edmonton Oilers 3-2. Pierre-Luc Dubois shone with a goal and an assist, contributing significantly to the Capitals' success. Tom Wilson and Matt Roy also found the net for the Capitals, who are on an NHL-high 11-game point streak with an impressive record of 8-0-3 during this stretch. In contrast, the Oilers, despite goals from Leon Draisaitl and Corey Perry, faced their second straight loss, missing star Connor McDavid due to a suspension.

Draisaitl's notable performance included his league-leading 34th goal, extending his point streak to seven games, and marking a career milestone with his scoring efficiency in the early stages of the game. The Capitals managed to take control in the third period, with Lars Eller setting up Dubois for a goal that made it 3-1.
