"The Capitals ceded way too much ice to the Oilers at five-on-five, especially in the third period, as Edmonton poured it on with their comeback attempt. In the third alone, the Oilers were up 33-10 in shot attempts, 18-5 in scoring chances, and 9-2 in high-danger chances. That's the Capitals under siege and, to their credit, they handled it about as well as they could have."
"Hello, Ryan Leonard, could we have some more of that? Two goals from Leonard for his first multi-goal and multi-point game of his short NHL career. The 20-year-old winger scored the two goals on his two shots in the game and played 12:12 of total ice time. I imagine he plays much more than that if Dowd is in the lineup and if the game isn't close for much of the third."
The Washington Capitals defeated the Edmonton Oilers 7-4 to record consecutive wins for the first time in over three weeks. The Capitals surrendered significant five-on-five possession and chances, especially in the third period when the Oilers outpaced them 33-10 in shot attempts, 18-5 in scoring chances, and 9-2 in high-danger chances. Ryan Leonard scored two goals on two shots for his first multi-goal, multi-point game. Connor McMichael recorded three assists and has six points in his last three games. John Carlson tied Mark Howe for sixth-most points by a U.S.-born defenseman. Alex Ovechkin scored his 904th career goal, giving him goals in three straight games.
