The Capitals ended their six-game losing skid by playing similarly but against a struggling opponent, resulting in an even match. They excelled in the second period, limiting Detroit's chances and scoring two goals.
Dylan Strome scored his 27th goal to match a career-high in 65 points, also marking his 300th career point. Ovechkin's 30th goal broke the record for most 30-goal seasons in NHL history, solidifying his title as the greatest goalscorer of all time.
Charlie Lindgren's 42-save performance, saving 2.19 more goals than expected, was crucial in the Capitals' victory. John Carlson took on extra minutes on the ice due to Rasmus Sandin's absence, playing nearly 30 minutes.
