Center Dylan Strome, in his first year with the Caps, tied and broke his career high in goals with 23 as the Washington Capitals defeated the New York Islanders, 5-2.
Strome, acquired during the offseason as a free agent after the Chicago Blackhawks did not give the former No. 3 overall pick a qualifying offer, has already signed a five-year, $25M extension with Washington.
The tally marked the fourth game in a row where Strome scored and fourth game in succession where he scored the Capitals opening goal. The four-game goal streak is the longest of his career.
