Dylan Strome becomes fourth Capitals player other than Alex Ovechkin to record an 80-point season in the Ovi era

"Dylan Strome scored his first hat trick with the Capitals, marking his career-high 81 points this season, joining an elite group of players with an 80-point season."

"Strome's achievement is particularly poignant as it coincided with the three-year anniversary of his dog Wrigley’s passing, an emotional connection that added depth to the milestone."

Dylan Strome achieved his first hat trick with the Capitals during a 3-1 win against the New York Islanders, marking a career-high 81 points in 81 games. This achievement places him among an elite group of players in the Alex Ovechkin era to have recorded an 80-point season. Notably, Strome is the first non-Ovechkin player to reach this milestone since Evgeny Kuznetsov in 2017-18. Additionally, this performance carried emotional weight for Strome, as it fell on the anniversary of his dog Wrigley's death.
