The Washington Capitals dominated the Pittsburgh Penguins yesterday with an 8-3 win as several players stepped up. They'll hope to do so again when they face the Edmonton Oilers today at 1 p.m. If you can't make it to Capital One Arena you can catch the game on TNT, truTV and MAX or listen to the game on 106.7 The Fan and Caps Radio 24/7.
Before we get to the top 3 players to watch in today's contest here are the betting odds. Per Caesars, the Capitals are 1.5 goal underdogs on home ice. The Oilers are favored to win with -130 moneyline odds while the Caps have moneyline odds of +110. Today's over/under is set for 6.0 goals.
#3 Tom Wilson
Tom Wilson made the boos in Pittsburgh even louder with a goal to put an exclamation point on yesterday's game. The Caps had five goals in the second period and Wilson's goal came towards the very end. It was his 25th goal of the season establishing a new career high in goals.
Wilson loves scoring in Pittsburgh as he has scored in his last five games played at PPG Paints Arena. His 13 career goals in 45 games against the Penguins are tied for the most goals he has scored against a single opponent. The other one? The Buffalo Sabres.

Wilson positioned himself good in front of the net and was able to tap in a shot from Martin Fehervary, who also scored earlier in the period.
