In a thrilling matchup against the Vancouver Canucks, the Washington Capitals secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory, driven by Pierre-Luc Dubois' standout performance, including two key goals that extended his point streak. The Capitals took an early lead with a goal from Dubois set up by McMichael just before the first period ended, but faced challenges in the second period as the Canucks outshot them significantly. Goaltender Logan Thompson's exceptional play was crucial, as he saved 30 of 31 shots. Despite struggles with their 5-on-5 scoring and power play, the Capitals managed to clinch the win in overtime with Dubois netting the decisive goal, marking his seventh of the season.
