There's no question in Alex Ovechkin's mind when it comes to who the next captain of the Washington Capitals will be when he eventually hangs up the skates. He stood by it last April, expecting Wilson to be the guy that dons the "C" and leads the charge going forward.

The Washington Capitals didn't play their best hockey to kick off their road trip against the Edmonton Oilers, but as they've been doing all season, they found a way to get the job done. Logan Thompson shined again between the pipes — and picked up an assist to boot — and Pierre-Luc Dubois stayed hot en route to a 3-2 victory over the Oilers.

The 27-year-old was stellar in net, coming up with several key stops, including two on breakaways, to keep the Flames at bay. Coleman's deflection was the only shot that beat him, but that's hardly on him, and everything he saw, he stopped.

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

Rasmus Andersson and Tom Wilson would be a heck of a lot of fun to play charades with. That much was clear late Tuesday night in an entertaining game in which the two wound up stealing the show.

The Washington Capitals are finally at the end of their lengthy road swing up north, as their five-game stretch culminates with one last visit to the Ottawa Senators, who D.C. saw just a couple weeks back.

Caps give up two penalty shots -- while on the power play -- and lose to Senators in overtime, 5-4, despite a goal from Alex Ovechkin.

However, Alex Ovechkin and Dylan Strome didn't like that storyline, and refused to let their team leave empty-handed. The two led a furious rally in the third period to force overtime, but ultimately, a lack of discipline and a rough go-of-it led to a 5-4 loss.
