In a game where Alex Ovechkin scored, the Capitals narrowly overcame the Kraken, a struggling team, thanks largely to their penalty kill's perfect record. The Capitals only had one power play opportunity, while the Kraken were given four chances, all of which were thwarted by the Caps' penalty killers. Despite expectations to dominate, the Capitals only found their rhythm in the third period. Key players included John Carlson with two assists, Connor McMichael with a goal and an assist, and goalie Charlie Lindgren, who recorded a save percentage of .938.
The game could have gotten out of control if the Caps penalty killers didn't show up, as they successfully killed off all four penalties.
