After half a season in Washington, D.C., Pierre-Luc Dubois has found his footing with a fresh start in the Metropolitan Division. While the 6-foot-4 center didn't have the season he expected with the Los Angeles Kings,

Tuesday night's game at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, is the first time these teams square off this season.

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Pierre-Luc Dubois had a goal and an assist as the league-leading Washington Capitals won their fifth game in a row, defeating the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on Tuesday night. Tom Wilson and Matt Roy also scored for the Capitals, who have earned at least a point in an NHL-high 11 straight games, going 8-0-3 in that span.

It is never too early to lock up one of your own and the Washington Capitals have done just that. The Capitals and goaltender Logan Thompson have come to terms on a new contract extension.

The Capitals have agreed to a multi-year extension with pending UFA netminder Logan Thompson. It’s a six-year commitment with a price tag of $5.85M per season, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports, working out to a total value of $35.1M.

The East has six teams with a chance to win the Stanley Cup north of 2.5 percent. These are each team’s signature strengths and fatal flaws.

Among the best players to keep an eye on when the Washington Capitals meet the Calgary Flames on Tuesday at Scotiabank Saddledome — beginning at 9:00 PM ET — are the Capitals’ Dylan Strome and the Flames’ Jonathan Huberdeau.

The Washington Capitals didn't play their best ... 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.

Really happy to be here for many more years to come,” Logan Thompson said. “I’ve loved my time here and just thankful for the opportunity that the Capitals gave me.”
