Dallas said he became the first NHL player to score eight or more goals through his first nine games since Rob Gaudreau in 1992-93, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

"I thought once the puck goes in there, youre allowed to go after it," Capitals coach Adam Oates said. And I didnt think (Backstrom) interfered with him. I think he touched the puck first and then the goalie." In the third period, Dallas allowed only five shots on goal. "Thats part of the deal," Oates said. "Youve got to try to wear them out, wait for your turn. We get a power play and you get a chance." Washingtons final power play lasted 36 seconds after Seguin was called for delay of game at 19:24. "We really didnt sit on (the puck). We had some great zone time, and didnt do anything foolish that would lose the game," Ruff said.
