Zach Hyman had a natural hat trick and the Edmonton Oilers rolled to a 7-2 victory over the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night.

Connor McDavid had a power-play goal and two assists for Edmonton, while Warren Foegele and Connor Brown also scored.
Darcy Kuemper and Charlie Lindgren have split time in net this season, with the former posting a 13-12-2 record, 3.15 GAA and .893 SV%, while the latter is 13-9-5 with a 2.82 GAA and .908 SV%.

T.J. Oshie scored the 300th goal of his career, while Aliaksei Protas and Anthony Mantha each had a goal and an assist as Washington delivered with a 4-3 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night.
