Dylan Strome had a standout performance, scoring all three goals in a 3-1 victory against the New York Islanders, marking his first hat trick as a Washington Capitals player. This accomplishment came on the anniversary of the death of his family's beloved dog, Wrigley, which added emotional significance to his career-high achievement. Strome's wife shared his motivation through social media, and he expressed the deep bond he felt with their pet, who he believed was watching over him during the game.
“When you become a family and you get a dog and he passes really young, it's tough. It was tough for our family, and today happened to be the day he passed away three years ago.”
“Gettin one for the wrig man tonight ❤️,” he texted Tayler pregame, showcasing how the memory of their dog inspired him to perform.
