Edmonton Oilers superstar Leon Draisaitl scored his 29th goal in the first five minute of a game in a 3-2 loss to the Washington Capitals.

The Capitals as a team lead the NHL with an impressive 31-10-5 record, having earned a point in 10 straight games (7-0-3). Washington will be seeking revenge against the Oilers for taking both games in the season series by a 12-2 goal margin. The two sides wrap up their season series on Feb. 23 in Washington.

Tom Wilson, Matt Roy and Pierre-Luc Dubois scored and Logan Thompson made 30 saves during a 3-2 win in Edmonton.

Tom Wilson also scored his 20th of the season last night off a 2-on-1 feed from Aliaksei Protas, and continues to have himself a great year so far. He projects to have 35 goals and 61 points when the season wraps up, which will be career-best numbers for him as well.

Tuesday evening the Washington Capitals will launch their five-game road trip with their first stop in the City of Champions, taking on the Edmonton Oilers.  Puck drop is slated for 9 pm ET

It starts defensively with us,” said Brandon Duhaime, who skates with Nic Dowd and Andrew Mangiapane. “That’s our goal every night — to be solid defensively.”
