The Washington Capitals collected seven of eight points on a challenging road trip, including a narrow shootout loss that drew multiple recaps. Alex Ovechkin's first hat trick remains a dramatic highlight. The team signed practice goalie and former Stingrays netminder Parker Milner to a PTO as an emergency backup when Charlie Lindgren was a last-minute scratch; Milner even skated a rookie lap. Ryan Leonard suffered a game-ending injury after a hit by Jacob Trouba. Tom Wilson continues to show improvement, and the Jakob Chychrun–Matt Roy defensive pairing has combined offensive firepower with a calming presence. Birthday notes honored Chris Valentine and Matt Niskanen.
