First Period


The opening period saw Washington take an early lead with Tom Wilson finding the back of the net. His goal set the tone for what would be a dominant performance by the Caps throughout all three periods. The Isles struggled to find their rhythm, unable to capitalize on any scoring opportunities in this segment.


Second Period


In the second period, Logan Thompson's goaltending skills were put to test as he faced multiple shots from New York's offense but managed to keep them at bay. Meanwhile, Alex Ovechkin contributed significantly by assisting on another goal for Washington, extending their lead further and showcasing his playmaking abilities.

Third Period


The third period proved pivotal as it highlighted Tom Wilson's exceptional form once again when he scored his second goal of the match. This was followed by Aliaksei Protas adding another point for Washington with an empty-netter that sealed their victory convincingly against New York’s lone power-play goal from Bo Horvat.


Logan Thompson emerged as one of two stars from this encounter due largely in part due his impressive save percentage which stood at 97 percent after stopping 30 out-of-the-total-shots-faced during regulation time; thus earning him well-deserved recognition alongside teammate Tom Wilson who led offensively through scoring twice while also assisting once more within these sixty minutes played between both teams involved here today!
