A cheesy interruption during the Capitals game in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, on Tuesday night almost threatened Washington's win streak, which improved to five straight after a win over the Oilers.

Washington will be seeking revenge against the Oilers for taking both games in the season series by a 12-2 goal margin. The two sides wrap up their season series on Feb. 23 in Washington.
