Pierre-Luc Dubois had a goal and an assist as the league-leading Washington Capitals won their fifth game in a row, defeating the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on Tuesday night.

EDMONTON -- Pierre-Luc Dubois had a goal and an assist for the Washington Capitals, who pushed their win streak to five games with a 3-2 win against the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place on Tuesday.

The Oilers could have allowed themselves to be rattled after the whole McDavid suspension saga. A couple of veteran referees got caught ignoring an obvious extended infraction and you wonder if Curious George Parros threw an extra game onto McDavid’s suspension for no other reason other than jealousy or envy.

The Capitals as a team lead the NHL with an impressive 31-10-5 record, having earned a point in 10 straight games (7-0-3). Washington will be seeking revenge against the Oilers for taking both games in the season series by a 12-2 goal margin. The two sides wrap up their season series on Feb. 23 in Washington.

Edmonton Oilers superstar Leon Draisaitl scored his 29th goal in the first five minute of a game in a 3-2 loss to the Washington Capitals.

The difference in the game was great goaltending from Washington’s Logan Thompson — who was strangely left off of the Team Canada roster — and the fact that the Edmonton power play without McDavid was anemic, with not one Grade A shot in three opportunities.

The first-year Cap has also recorded three or more shots in nine of his past 12 games since the holiday break, and his 8.79 shots and 19.21 attempts per 60 minutes during the stretch are well above his respective 6.05 and 17.36 marks to start the campaign.
