Pouliot scored two goals -- including the game-winner -- in a 4-1 victory over the visiting Capitals on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Pouliot beat stud netminder Braden Holtby twice in the second period, sending the fans at Rogers Place into a frenzy. He now has three points in four games since being benched mid-game against the Sabres, and, despite the fact that he'll be hard-pressed to escape the bottom six, Pouliot skates with a fine center in Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and is seeing some time on the second power-play unit (2:13 in this one).
