What happened: Ryan Leonard tallied his seventh point of the regular season to help lift the Washington Capitals past the New Jersey Devils, 4-2. Speaking after the final buzzer, Leonard noted that converting on the man advantage to pull even was a turning point in the win.

Why it matters: Moving into a tie for the club's scoring lead underscores the immediate offensive return from a forward recently locked into a long-term extension by Washington. Generating timely production on the power play gives the Capitals a reliable secondary catalyst when trailing early.

What to watch: Leonard will look to take sole possession of the team scoring lead when Washington returns to regular-season action.
