A battle between two of the NHL’s best teams Tuesday night took a bizarre turn when the Edmonton Oilers benefitted from a fan throwing their cheesy nachos onto the ice, scoring a goal on distracted Washington Capitals goalie Logan Thompson,

Washington Capitals goaltender Logan Thompson was a bit preoccupied during a play in which Edmonton Oilers forward Corey Perry scored a goal in Tuesday's game. At the 4:50 mark of the second period, the Oilers were bringing the puck into the offensive zone when a tray of nachos was thrown onto the ice by a fan.

A tray of cheesy nachos flew from the stands and onto the ice, distracting Logan Thompson from stopping a shot during a narrow victory over the Edmonton Oilers, the Washington Capitals goalie said.

Pierre-Luc Dubois had a goal and an assist and the visiting Washington Capitals won their fifth straight game, 3-2 over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.
