Capitals goalie Logan Thompson said he was distracted by a tray of cheese-covered nachos thrown on the ice while Oilers winger Corey Perry scored on him in Edmonton on Tuesday night.

Pierre-Luc Dubois starred for the Capitals, scoring a goal and assisting another one, while Tom Wilson and Matt Roy also found the back of the net. For Edmonton, Leon Draisaitl and Corey Perry scored, but the Oilers struggled to fill the void left by McDavid, who sits fifth in NHL scoring this season with 65 points.

Tom Wilson, Matt Roy and Pierre-Luc Dubois scored and Logan Thompson made 30 saves during a 3-2 win in Edmonton.

While the Edmonton Oilers were on a rush against the Washington Capitals, a plate of nachos landed on the ice. Oilers vet Corey Perry actually had to avoid them as he got the puck on his stick and buried the one-timer.

The Edmonton Oilers expressed frustration over the NHL’s decision to suspend Connor McDavid for three games following his cross-check to the head of Vancouver Canucks forward Conor Garland, releasing a public statement before Tuesday's game against the Washington Capitals.

The Capitals as a team lead the NHL with an impressive 31-10-5 record, having earned a point in 10 straight games (7-0-3). Washington will be seeking revenge against the Oilers for taking both games in the season series by a 12-2 goal margin. The two sides wrap up their season series on Feb. 23 in Washington.

Can anyone stop the Washington Capitals? The Metropolitan Division giants are adding on to their division, conference, and league leading win and point totals.

In a game where the Capitals struggled to get much going offensively, it was Thompson who helped hold down the fort. The Capitals' stars also stayed hot, with Pierre-Luc Dubois putting up another multi-point outing to help power D.C.'s offense and Tom Wilson striking again.

The difference in the game was great goaltending from Washington’s Logan Thompson — who was strangely left off of the Team Canada roster — and the fact that the Edmonton power play without McDavid was anemic, with not one Grade A shot in three opportunities.

Tuesday evening the Washington Capitals will launch their five-game road trip with their first stop in the City of Champions, taking on the Edmonton Oilers.  Puck drop is slated for 9 pm ET
