Dylan Strome had the primary assist on Alex Ovechkin’s game winning overtime goal on Wednesday night which marked his second game winning assist of the season. The other one came on Oct. 24 at the New Jersey Devils.

We got so excited we at first tweeted that Strome scored but of course it was Ovechkin, more on him later.

Strome has been a roll recording four points in his last four games with one goal and three assists. Strome has recorded 16 points in 21 games this season with five goals and 11 assists. Strome ranks second on the Capitals in points, assists and power play points.

He has eight power play points with two goals and six assists. He also leads the Capitals in multi assist games with three and multi point games this season with five.

Through 21 games, Strome is averaging 17:14 minutes of ice time, which ranks third among Capitals forwards. Alex Ovechkin has 21:07 minutes of ice time while Evgeny Kuznetsov has 18:54 minutes of ice time.

Prior to the start of this season, Strome had averaged 16:02 minutes of ice time per game in his career. He has been a perfect fit on his new team and he has the potential to breakout soon.
