FREDERICK, MD — In a battle of wills and skill, the Oilers edged out the Capitals in a thrilling 6-4 victory Sunday night at Skate Frederick. The Oilers struck first with Rick Murphy and David Berliner lighting the lamp early, but the Capitals clawed their way back with James Constantino keeping them in the mix.

By the second period, the Capitals had found their groove, with Mark Macera tying things up not once, but twice! The Oilers, ever the scrappy bunch, countered with Andrew Ahrens sneaking one in, keeping his team on top—if only for a moment.

Then came the third period, and that’s when the Oilers truly took control. Nick Chapman restored the lead, but Justin Constantino wasn’t about to let that stand. Another equalizer put the game on edge until David Berliner buried one with just over a minute left—setting the stage for Bryce McGuire’s empty-netter to seal the deal.

The final whistle blew with the Oilers skating away victorious, 6-4, after a relentless battle. The Capitals fought tooth and nail, but the Oilers had just a bit more fuel in the tank to close it out.

With the win, the Oilers continue to assert themselves as a formidable force in the regular season, while the Capitals will look to bounce back in their next outing.
