Aliaksei Protas had the first hat trick of his NHL career, Alex Ovechkin and Pierre-Luc Dubois each had three points and the Washington Capitals extended their winning streak to five, defeating the Anaheim Ducks 7-4 on Tuesday night.

Trouba scored his first goal since Jan. 4, 2024, a span of 95 games, to tie it 1-1 at 4:51. His initial shot from the slot went wide, but the rebound came back to him off the end boards and he slid the puck between Thompson's pads.

Alex Ovechkin couldn't score during the Washington Capitals' 7-4 win over the Anaheim Ducks, failing to cut the deficit behind Wayne Gretzky's goals record in the NHL.
