Erik Karlsson had a goal and two assists on Sunday to help the San Jose Sharks win 4-1 over the Washington Capitals.
Karlsson was also instrumental in goals from Evgeny Svechnikov and Alexander Barabanov, the latter on the power play.
Karlsson is second in the NHL with 55 assists – just two less than Lightning leader Nikita Kucherov.
Tomas Hertl completed in an empty net for San Jose, which was ending an eight-game road trip with a 3-3-2 record.
Aaron Dell was perfect against the eight shots faced in relief to Kaapo Kahkonen. The latter left late in the second period after a collision with Evgeny Kuznetsov, when the latter collected an eighth goal this season.
