#2 Dylan Strome

Dylan Strome scored his third goal of the season at 12:33 of the second period to give the Caps a comfortable 5-3 lead. He also assisted on Alex Ovechkin's goal in the opening period and Tom Wilson's game winning goal in overtime.

Strome explained the win in more detail to Vogs

"We kind of locked eyes (in reference to Trevor van Riemsdyk). I figured he was kind of off balance and figured he was going to go for a stick. He put it right in the wheelhouse; I just had to tip it home."
Dylan Strome

Strome so far this season has three goals and four assists for seven points. He also has a plus/minus of plus two. Strome also has a corsi for percentage of 50.48 percent, a 57.08 percent expected goals for percentage and a high danger chances for percentage of 68.18 percent via Natural Stat Trick.

Strome might be the new Oshie in terms of being the heart and soul of the team. He's definitely a spark plug that keeps the locker room going and now is one of their hottest offensive weapons.
