"Both the Washington Capitals and the Seattle Kraken will be looking to rebound Tuesday night at Capital One Arena. The Capitals (4-2-0) lost to the visiting Vancouver Canucks, 4-3, on Sunday afternoon after a poor start led to Washington trailing by four goals less than five minutes into the second period. Goals by Ryan Leonard, Jakob Chychrun and John Carlson got the Capitals within one late in the game, but Washington couldn't pull off a comeback."
"Washington will make a couple of lineup changes up front for Tuesday's game as center Pierre-Luc Dubois remains out with a lower-body injury. Justin Sourdif, who played on the wing of Nic Dowd's line for the first six games, will center the third line, probably playing between Leonard and Hendrix Lapierre. Winger Sonny Milano will come out of the lineup as a healthy scratch, and Ethen Frank will draw in for his season debut."
""Hopefully the same stuff we saw when he came up last year. This is just a little bit earlier, timing-wise," Coach Spencer Carbery said of what he wants to see from Frank. "Speed on display, with and without the puck. Any opportunity he gets to attack the net with his shot. And then really good with his positioning, his reads, playing inside of our structure.""
