Jason Robertson contributed two assists, while goalie Jake Oettinger saved 25 shots from the Capitals. Dylan Strome was the only goal scorer for Washington, which had earned points in the last nine games. In another exciting encounter that evening, Vancouver Canucks player Kiefer Sherwood achieved his very first hat-trick in the NHL. This impressive performance led the Canucks to a 3-1 victory over the Colorado Avalanche. Goalie Thatcher Demko also contributed to the victory by saving 30 out of 31 shots. The only goal for the Avalanche was scored by Valeri Nichushkin shortly before the end. Meanwhile, Mackenzie Blackwood was there with 22 saves for the visitors. The Florida Panthers triumphed in a turbulent match with a 6-5 victory against the Edmonton Oilers. Carter Verhaeghe was the decisive player of the game, scoring the leading goal and providing an assist.
