Pierre-Luc Dubois scored his second goal of the game late in overtime, Logan Thompson made 30 saves and the Washington Capitals beat the Vancouver Canucks 2-1 despite another sluggish performance.

The Washington Capitals got off to the start they wanted against the Vancouver Canucks; it was the rest of the night didn’t go as planned. But thanks to Pierre-Luc Dubois, D.C. managed two points. Dubois struck twice and Logan Thompson stood on his head to help Washington escape with a 2-1 victory.

On Tuesday, our colleague at The Athletic Josh Yohe reported the Canucks fielded and walked away from an offer from the New York Rangers involving a potential Mika Zibanejad for J.T. Miller trade. Zibanejad is still an enormously skilled power-play specialist but his foot speed and two-way game are trending in a direction that looks very much like a “worst-case scenario for what it could look like as Miller ages into his mid-30s” already,

More and more buzz continues to grow around the Vancouver Canucks and the futures of Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller. And now, word came out that earlier this season the New York Rangers offered a deal to the Canucks surrounding Mika Zibanejad for J.

The Rangers reportedly tried to land J.T. Miller in a trade with the Canucks, but saw a one-for-one offer rebuffed.
