The Washington Capitals began their five-game road trip with a 3-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers, extending their point streak to 11 games with an impressive 8-0-3 record during this stretch. Logan Thompson’s standout goaltending, alongside offensive contributions from Pierre-Luc Dubois and Tom Wilson, helped secure the win, while the team’s road record improved to 16-6-1. However, the Capitals need to enhance their offensive output, particularly during even-strength situations. Amidst this success, trade rumors are swirling, with interest in New York Islanders forward Brock Nelson to strengthen their lineup for the playoff push.

No sense in spending assets on a rental when they're just gonna get replaced by Leonard when he joins the team, that's the 3rd line answer
The Caps defensive posture is good for playoffs. They wear down teams and usually dominate the 3rd period. More offense would be great but at what cost? It's tough. I like their chemistry right now.
Was at the game last night and to me the defensive system is very good. The support from the forwards is very strong. Protas played a whale of game, undeniably should get some vote for defensive forward award. Also got to me Aleksie’s billet family from Prince Albert, they are so happy and excited for him and the teams success.
Dan, ya speak for the people!! #AGREE with every thing you said!
