EDGE Analysis

Lapierre trailed a T.J. Oshie rush and slipped a shot through New York netminder Alexander Georgiev to give the Capitals a 3-0 lead in the second period. It was the first career goal for the 19-year-old Lapierre, who was making his NHL debut. Drafted 22nd overall by Washington in 2020, Lapierre centered the third line between Oshie and Conor Sheary.
