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.

WASHINGTON -- Pierre-Luc Dubois scored his second goal of the game with 41 seconds remaining in overtime, lifting the Washington Capitals past the Vancouver Canucks 2-1 at Capital One Arena on Wednesday.

Games between teams based on opposite sides of the continent, that only see each other twice a year, rarely come with the kind of edge that the Washington Capitals’ date with the Vancouver Canucks did Wednesday night at Capital One Arena.
