Capitals' Dylan Strome: Bags two apples
Rotowire
Strome tallied two assists, including one on the power play, and added four shots during Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Devils.
Strome helped the Capitals get off to a quick start and looked comfortable playing on the top line alongside Alex Ovechkin and newcomer Andrew Mangiapane. The 27-year-old Strome has eclipsed the 60-point barrier in each of the last two seasons and should be in line for another solid campaign in 2024-25. Still, Pierre-Luc Dubois could challenge for top-line duty if Strome struggles.

Strome continues to roll, providing three multi-point performances in the last six games, and over the last 14 contests, he's erupted for six goals and 18 points. While the 26-year-old has never lived up to the expectations that came with being the third overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft, Strome seems to have found a home in Washington -- he needs one more goal to tie the career-high 23 he scored in 2022-23 during his first season with the Caps and is on pace for his second straight 60-point campaign.
