"The Caps get the win on Long Island thanks to Tom Wilson and Logan Thompson. Plus: Tom Wilson scored twice this afternoon, including once on the power play. The power play tally was encouraging not just for Wilson, but also for the Washington Capitals' special teams as a whole. Fun fact: after his two goals today, Wilson is now on pace to score 47 goals this season."
"Minus: All good things must come to an end, and unfortunately today it was Jakob Chychrun's 10-game point streak. Caps Player of the Game: Tom Wilson might have handled the bulk of Washington's offense today, but Logan Thompson gets Player of the Game honors this afternoon for his incredible performance in net. His shutout bid was sadly ruined with a third period PPG from the New York Islanders, but the Capitals would almost certainly not have won without him today."
