In a tightly contested match at Capital One Arena, the Washington Capitals clinched a 2-1 overtime victory over the Vancouver Canucks.
The game was marked by a low shot count initially, with the Canucks managing only three shots in the first period before ramping up to 20 in the second.
Despite this offensive surge, the game remained tied at 1-1 until Pierre-Luc Dubois scored both goals for the Capitals, including the decisive one in overtime.
This loss adds to the Canucks’ challenges in securing regulation wins, though their performance without key player Elias Pettersson was commendable.
The Canucks’ struggle with overtime games continues, with this defeat marking another in their series of close contests.
