After a lengthy break for the 4 Nations Face-Off, the Washington Capitals didn't miss a beat.

PIerre-Luc Dubois had three assists, Jakob Chychrun struck twice and the blue line came up big en route to an 8-3 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Here are all the takeaways.

Second periods haven't been kind to Washington this season, but Saturday was a step in the right direction. After going down 2-1, the Capitals busted out with five goals in the second.

Jakob Chychrun supplied two of those goals, while Aliaksei Protas and Martin Fehervary also got on the board to make it a 6-2 game going into the final 20 minutes of play.

A lot of Washington's high-octane offense came from the blue line. Not only did Chychrun score twice, but Fehervary, Matt Roy and Rasmus Sandin had multi-point outings as  the blue line combined for 10 points en route to the victory.

Ultimately, everyone got on the scoresheet with the exception of Alex Ovechkin, Lars Eller and Nic Dowd.

Pierre-Luc Dubois has fit in seamlessly with the Capitals, and he continued his bounce-back season with quite the afternoon in Pittsburgh.

The 26-year-old had three assists for his second consecutive multi-point game, and he now ranks second on the Capitals in scoring this season with 47 points through 56 games. He is on pace to finish with a career-high 69 points.

In addition to Dubois, Dylan Strome kept his hot streak going with his 17th goal of the season on the power play. Strome now has points in seven straight games, a season-high, and leads the team with 55 points in 56 games.

- Taylor Raddysh and Brandon Duhaime both had multi-point outings.

- Logan Thompson stopped 30 of 33 shots to advance to 25-2-5. 

- Ethen Frank opened the scoring and has four goals through 15 games up with the big club as he continues to make his case to remain up in the NHL.
