Tom Wilson has had an outstanding week that earned him recognition as the NHL’s Third Star of the Week. He excelled during the Capitals’ four-game winning streak, scoring three goals and tallying seven points, which included three consecutive multi-point games. Wilson was pivotal in crucial matchups, contributing to comebacks against teams like the Seattle Kraken and netting his fifth career overtime goal against the New York Rangers. This week also marked a milestone for Wilson, as he surpassed Brooks Laich for seventh-most shorthanded goals in Capitals history, achieving his 11th career shorthanded goal and reaching a new personal best in single-season goals with 29. In addition, Connor McMichael has reached a significant career milestone by recording his 100th NHL point while also hitting 50 points in a season for the first time since his OHL days. His achievement somewhat coincided with Alex Ovechkin breaking the 1,600 career points mark. Despite earlier struggles, McMichael showcased impressive improvement, contributing to the Capitals’ success and demonstrating a resurgence in form. Pierre-Luc Dubois has been another standout player this season, on track to surpass his previous career-highs in points and proving essential to the team’s aspirations as they aim for a Stanley Cup victory in 2025. Together, these players highlight the Capitals’ promising performance trajectory as the season unfolds.

Who do you think we will be playing in the first round? It will be great when we add Leonard to the 3rd line.
