"Sometimes it just goes that way," Tom Wilson said postgame. "Obviously we've got a tight group. It's been fun getting all the new guys. They're fitting in really well. I think just knowing that if we show up and play hard and play the right way, it's going to be tough on the home team, so we just want to keep playing our game and showing up with our own energy and dictating play."
Despite playing in only four of the eight games, Alex Ovechkin leads the team in goals during the streak, scoring seven different times. Before coming out of the lineup, Ovechkin torched the Golden Knights for a hat trick and then followed that up the next night with two more tallies against the Utah Hockey Club before exiting due to a fractured fibula.
Connor McMichael, who notched the game-winning goal against his hometown Maple Leafs on Friday, has scored six goals in the eight-game stretch. Dylan Strome leads the team with 11 points.
