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.

The Capitals have $3.65 million in available cap space, leaving them unable to absorb Nelson’s $6 million cap hit outright. According to Rosner, the Islanders "may be willing to retain some of his cap hit in any trade-deadline deal they make."
