In an exciting matchup, the Washington Capitals defeated the Buffalo Sabres 4-2, with standout performances from Tom Wilson and Dylan Strome. Wilson stepped up in the absence of Alex Ovechkin, scoring two power-play goals and leading the team with his scoring prowess. Strome netted the game-winning goal, while Rasmus Sandin returned from a scare after an injury. The Capitals showcased their aggressive play and strong communication, excelling in scoring from high-danger areas.
