It was a long-awaited goal success for criticized Elias Pettersson.
Prior to Sunday's meeting with Washington, he had not netted in seven games where the last full match came on December 14.
Pettersson scored his first goal of the match early in the second period - and it was beautiful.
Positioned to the right in powerplay, he fumbled for some space and precisely pushed the puck into the net via the post and in.
The goal was 1-1 after Washington's goal machine Alexander Ovetchkin gave the home team the lead in the first period.
Four minutes after the equalizer, it was time again for Pettersson.
Placed behind the extended goal line, the Swede got the puck into the net via Washington's goalkeeper Ilya Samsonov's back and in to 2-1.
The assist points went to compatriots Oliver Ekman Larsson and Nils Höglander.
Vancouver eventually won 4-2.
JT Miller punctured the match with one minute left with a goal in the empty box.
Nicklas Bäckström had an assist for Washington.
Tonight's ice release is said to have been, to say the least, welcome for Elias Pettersson.
Ångesonen has had a heavy season with poor offensive production and he has received a lot of criticism for his game.
After Sunday's two goals, he has scored 19 points, eight goals and eleven assists, in 38 games during the season.
