Oilers' Benoit Pouliot: Strikes twice in win over Capitals

Pouliot scored two goals -- including the game-winner -- in a 4-1 victory over the visiting Capitals on Wednesday.

Analysis:

Pouliot beat stud netminder Braden Holtby twice in the second period, sending the fans at Rogers Place into a frenzy. He now has three points in four games since being benched mid-game against the Sabres. Despite the fact that he'll be hard-pressed to escape the bottom six, Pouliot skates with a fine center in Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and is seeing some time on the second power-play unit (2:13 in this one), so he has some fantasy value in deeper formats.
