"A far better first period than their one against the Canucks saw the Capitals take a 1-0 lead into the first intermission. All four lines were really lively in the offensive zone, forcing the Kraken into several turnovers with their forechecking. The defense also did a great job converging around Logan Thompson to keep the Kraken to just one shot after their few successful zone entries. No penalties in the period, fun hockey."
"Nic Dowd got his first goal of the season after he finished off a pretty pass from John Carlson. Ryan Leonard doubled the lead with his third goal of the year, and Jakob Chychrun converted on a power play to make it 3-0. Jaden Schwartz pounced on a great bounce to get the Kraken on the board. Tom Wilson added an empty-netter. Capitals beat Kraken 4-1!"
"The fourth line is finally on the board after Nic Dowd potted his first of the 2025-26 season. Brandon Duhaime kicked the chance off with an excellent zone entry and feed to a wide-open John Carlson. The veteran rearguard then made one more pass to Dowd down low, and he had the entire empty net to aim for from there. Duhaime's play in particular was great to see"
