Final Score: Washington Capitals (41-12-7) defeat the Edmonton Oilers (33-21-8) 2-1 at Verizon Center on Friday night. How It Happened: The Capitals were unable to set the NHL record for most consecutive home games with at least five goals scored, but they did just enough to best Oilers goalie Cam Talbot, who stood on his head for much of the game. The Capitals were at their strongest when getting out on the rush, which in turn didn't allow the Oilers' top line of Leon Draisaitl, Patrick Maroon and phenom Connor McDavid to get settled looks on offense.
