The Senators, Canadiens, Sabres, and Red Wings are all hoping to exit their rebuilds, but which team is in the best position to do so?

Credit to Pierre-Luc Dubois, who continues to be red-hot for Washington, scoring his 11th of the season less than two minutes into regulation. He has points in three of his last four games and 24 in his last 25, the most on the team over that span.

There is NHL action on Tuesday, Jan. 28 and that includes a matchup with Buffalo Sabres hosting the Boston Bruins at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, NY.

The Capitals have agreed to a multi-year extension with pending UFA netminder Logan Thompson. It’s a six-year commitment with a price tag of $5.85M per season, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports, working out to a total value of $35.1M.

The 27-year-old late bloomer has thrived in Washington since joining the team last summer in a trade from Vegas. He has won 22 of his 26 starts this season for a team that is tied for the most points in the National Hockey League.

The Columbus Blue Jackets' top trade chip this NHL trade deadline is their defenseman Ivan Provorov. Teams will be calling about him.

Several streaks, including a run of 12 games with a point, come to an end as the Capitals are stymied by some crafty work in goal in 2-1 loss to Canucks.
