Juraj Slafkovsky - Manages assist FridaySlafkovsky provided an assist in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Capitals.
ImpactSlafkovsky set up Cole Caufield's tally in the second period. This was Slafkovsky's eighth game in a row without a goal, but he's earned five assists in that span while seeing more consistent time on the top line in the absence of Patrik Laine (illness). Overall, Slafkovsky has four goals, 19 helpers, 47 shots on net, 86 hits and a minus-10 rating through 38 appearances. He's a little behind the pace that saw him record 50 points in 2023-24, though that's largely due to a decrease from shooting 13.2 percent last season to 8.5 percent this year while also dropping from 1.85 to 1.23 shots per game.

It was the second consecutive game in which Suzuki won it in the extra period. The top line had a dry spell toward the end of December, but it's been clicking in the new year. Both Suzuki and Cole Caufield have points in five straight games.
