Top 3 Capitals studs against Oilers

#2 Dylan Strome

Dylan Strome had two goals in last night’s game. The first goal came at 18:15 as he forced a turnover and drove to the net.

The second goal came 26 seconds into the second period on the power play as he was positioned in front of the net and got a perfect pass to the middle from Evgeny Kuznetsov. He now has four goals on the season.

Strome’s six power play points are tied with Alex Ovechkin for the most on the Capitals. It also marked Strome seventh career multi goal game and his fourth multi point effort in 14 games this season which is the most on the Caps.

Strome also had an assist on the Evgeny Kuznetsov power play goal which was Kuzy’s first of two goals on the night.

Strome was a good acquisition and I was a big fan of the move over the offseason. He did pretty good on a struggling Chicago Blackhawks team and now he’s on a team that’s determined to win now, despite the slow start that they had.

The Caps power play was four for five on the night and no that wasn’t a typo.

“I think we just found a way to get pucks to the net and they went in tonight. I think we did a good job of screening the goalie and anytime you get a 5 on 3 you want to capitalize on it so we’ll take the win,” Strome told the media after the game.
