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.

The Washington Capitals didn't play their best hockey to kick off their road trip against the Edmonton Oilers, but as they've been doing all season, they found a way to get the job done. Logan Thompson shined again between the pipes — and picked up an assist to boot — and Pierre-Luc Dubois stayed hot en route to a 3-2 victory over the Oilers.

But the Capitals were expecting the game to be “a little bit nasty,” as Coach Spencer Carbery put it after his team won, 2-1, in overtime behind two goals from center Pierre-Luc Dubois, who was at the center of the high-emotion proceedings throughout.

Pierre-Luc Dubois had a goal and an assist and the visiting Washington Capitals won their fifth straight game, 3-2 over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.
