"Ryan Leonard is getting better and better this young season, with three goals (and one ridiculous shot that was almost a goal) through seven games despite limited ice time. [THN, WashTimes] Oh, and also this: Per @NHLPR, Ryan Leonard (20 years, 273 days) became the youngest Capitals player to score in consecutive games since Nicklas Backstrom (2 GP from March 3-5, 2008 at 20 years, 103 days).- Capitals PR (@CapitalsPR) October 22, 2025"
"Taking a look at how Ryan, Justin Sourdif, and Declan Chisholm - the three newbies (sort of) - are doing so far. [THW] And then how about Hendrix Lapierre's five-on-five dominance against Seattle the other night? [RMNB] As for the old dudes, Alex Ovechkin has just a single goal through the first seven games...but if there's anything we know about #8, it's that we should never worry. He'll be fine. [THN]"
Several takeaways followed Tuesday night's win over Seattle, including notes on youth and veterans. Ryan Leonard has three goals and an almost-goal through seven games despite limited ice time, and became the youngest Capitals player to score in consecutive games since Nicklas Backstrom. Justin Sourdif and Declan Chisholm are also being evaluated as new contributors. Hendrix Lapierre dominated five-on-five against Seattle. Alex Ovechkin has one goal through seven games but shows no cause for concern. Fans will receive a floss holder before the Jan. 5 game against Anaheim as part of promotions. A shooty-hoops segment is also featured.
