Washington Capitals winger Alex Ovechkin is happy his team doesn't have to face Connor McDavid on Tuesday night.

Pierre-Luc Dubois starred for the Capitals, scoring a goal and assisting another one, while Tom Wilson and Matt Roy also found the back of the net. For Edmonton, Leon Draisaitl and Corey Perry scored, but the Oilers struggled to fill the void left by McDavid, who sits fifth in NHL scoring this season with 65 points.

McDavid's Edmonton Oilers are taking on the Washington Capitals on Tuesday night, one of the three games he won't be available for, and it seems Capitals star Alex Ovechkin won't be missing McDavid's presence on the ice. When asked about the suspension handed down to the Oilers star, Ovechkin had a comical response.

The Oilers saw a four-game road trip come to an end in a 2-1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks that also has them without their captain for the next three games. Connor McDavid was suspended three games for crosschecking Conor Garland in the dying seconds.
