SEATTLE — After being on the wrong side of two games that turned into track meets to begin their five-game road trip, the Washington Capitals were looking to play a tight, close-checking game against the Seattle Kraken.

With their ‘backs against the wall,’ Capitals seize the moment in Seattle
Washington did just that, and it worked as Carbery had hoped. Buoyed by a breakaway goal from center Connor McMichael with just over eight minutes left in the third period, the Capitals emerged with a 2-1 win over the Kraken to halt a two-game skid.
“You could feel it today in the meetings and in the meal room pregame that guys knew what was at stake tonight, with our backs against the wall as we’re running out of runway,” Carbery said. “We knew we needed to have a massive from our entire group, and that’s what they delivered.”
Goaltender Charlie Lindgren made 23 saves for Washington. Joey Daccord stopped 21 of the 23 shots he faced for Seattle.
The Kraken were idle Wednesday while the Capitals played the Oilers, but the plodding, low-energy nature of the first period left the impression that both teams were playing on short rest. That worked in Washington’s favor, as it was able to settle into the game through the opening 20 minutes — without getting put into an early hole by a rested team.
In the second period, though, the Capitals found their footing. They outshot the Kraken, 11-4, in the middle frame and, according to advanced statistics website Natural Stat Trick, recorded six high-danger scoring chances while allowing none to Seattle.
“Inspiring effort by our guys tonight,” Lindgren said. “I thought we played extremely hard and did all the right things, especially in that second period. Second period might’ve been our best period of the year, I thought. I mean, we were all over them, and then we found a way to gut it out.”
But the only time Washington was able to beat Daccord in the period, despite their dominance in puck possession and scoring chances, came via a gift by the netminder. While aiming to clear the puck up the ice on the power play, Daccord instead banked the puck back toward the net, off the leg of winger T.J. Oshie — and then poked it across his own goal line as he made a desperate attempt to salvage his gaffe.
Only scoring once while being in such firm control of the flow of play left Washington vulnerable in the third period, and the Kraken took advantage with a power-play goal by Oliver Bjorkstrand to knot the game with 16:28 left to play.
The Capitals’ coaching staff studied the goal on the monitors behind the bench as though they were considering possible goaltender interference, but a failed challenge would have put Seattle back on the power play, and Washington elected to stand pat.
McMichael was sprung on a breakaway by a turnover from former Capital Andre Burakovsky with just over eight minutes left, and he made no mistake as he fired a backhander through Daccord’s pads to put the Capitals back in front. While it was McMichael’s first goal against the Kraken, it was not his first goal against Daccord; he scored in Games 6 and 7 of the Calder Cup final with the Hershey Bears against Daccord and the Coachella Valley Firebirds last summer.
“I’m pretty familiar with him, obviously, from last year,” McMichael said. “I know he plays pretty aggressive to the shooter and he likes to challenge, so I just wanted to throw a little fake shot in and beat him to that post.”
Washington had to hang on tight after McMichael’s tally, including a goal-line clearance by defenseman Martin Fehervary with under a minute remaining, but the Capitals were able to do just enough to take the win.
“Really proud of the entire group,” Carbery said. “As difficult of circumstances as you’ll find in this league from a back-to-back standpoint. … For us to play the game that we did in Seattle’s building against a good hockey team that was rested, just full commitment. Every single guy doing the exact things that we talked about from a details standpoint and competitiveness standpoint. It was impressive to watch.”
Daccord’s gift to Oshie wasn’t the only gift Washington got Thursday night. After the Detroit Red Wings, the Philadelphia Flyers and the Buffalo Sabres all lost, the Capitals are now just one point out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. As ever, the path remains difficult, and the math is unfavorable.
But after a much-needed win in Seattle, the Capitals still have a chance, and they’ll take it — just like they took the bounce on Oshie’s goal.
“It’s going to be a grind. We’ve got to keep battling,” Oshie said. “For these teams around this bubble right now, this is our playoff time, just to get a chance to go to the postseason. Big two points tonight, feel good about it, but we’ve got to regroup. We’ve got a monster in [Vancouver on Saturday]. We’ve got to find another way to get two points.”

This story contains descriptions of fatal violence against a transgender person.
The Seattle Police Department are searching for a suspect after a 19-year-old University of Washington student was stabbed to death in an off-campus student apartment complex on May 10.
Seattle Police Department Detective Eric Muñoz told NBC News that the victim is “believed to be a 19-year-old transgender female” who was enrolled at the university. The victim has not yet been publicly identified by name. She was found in the housing complex laundry room shortly after 10 p.m. on Sunday night.
The housing complex, Nordheim Court, is privately managed but affiliated with the university, located near an upscale shopping center in Seattle’s U-Village neighborhood. According to NBC News, residents received an official alert from UW to stay inside their homes and lock all windows and doors — an alert that was lifted around 1 a.m. with the acknowledgment that “a death investigation remains ongoing.”
According to SPD detective Eric Muñoz, police and the fire department attempted lifesaving measures but ultimately “pronounced the victim deceased at the scene.”
“Officers are actively searching for the suspect, believed to be a black male with a beard, 5’6-8” tall, wearing a vest with button up shirt, and blue jeans,” Muñoz wrote in a blotter report.
Muñoz noted that the victim would be identified by the medical examiner’s office in “the coming days.” The SPD did not immediately respond to Them’s request for comment.
This is the seventh known trans person to be violently killed in 2026. In mid-April, 39-year-old transmasculine farmer Luca RedBeard was fatally shot in rural New Mexico. Last week, police in Marion County, Florida opened a homicide investigation into the shooting death of a 29-year-old who went by multiple names and referred to “transitioning” on social media. In Kentucky, an investigation into the disappearance of 22-year-old trans college student Murry Foust remains ongoing.
Police are asking anyone with information about the University of Washington case to call the Violent Crimes Tip Line at 206-233-5000, emphasizing that anonymous tips are accepted.
This is a developing story.

On a quiet stretch of Des Moines Memorial Drive in South Seattle, the Sea Mar Museum of Chicano/a/Latino/a Culture rises like a long‑overdue acknowledgment. Its brick exterior doesn’t shout; it invites. Inside, the rooms hum with the stories of families who crossed borders, harvested fields, organized classrooms, and built communities across Washington state—often without seeing their histories reflected anywhere on a museum wall.
For Rogelio Riojas, founder and CEO of Sea Mar Community Health Centers, the museum is a promise kept. “We wanted to make sure the contributions of Latinos in Washington state are recognized and preserved for future generations,” he told The Seattle Times when the museum opened in 2019. It was a simple statement, but one that captured decades of work—both visible and invisible—by the region’s Latino communities.
Walking through the galleries feels like stepping into a living archive. One of the most arresting sights is a pair of original farmworker cabins, transported from Eastern Washington. Their narrow wooden frames and sparse interiors speak volumes about the migrant families who once slept inside after long days in the fields. The cabins are not replicas or artistic interpretations; they are the real thing, weathered by sun, dust, and time. They anchor the museum’s narrative in the physical realities of labor that shaped the state’s agricultural economy.
Sea Mar describes the museum as “dedicated to sharing the history, struggles, and successes of the Latino community in Washington state,” a mission that plays out in photographs, letters, student newspapers, and oral histories contributed by community members themselves. These aren’t artifacts chosen from afar—they’re family treasures, personal archives, and memories entrusted to the museum so they can live beyond the kitchen tables and shoeboxes where they were once kept.
The story extends beyond the museum walls. Just steps away is the Sea Mar Community Center, a sweeping, light‑filled gathering space designed for celebrations, performances, workshops, and community events. With room for nearly 500 people, a full stage, a movie‑theater‑sized screen, and a catering kitchen, the center was built with one purpose: to give the community a place to see itself, gather, and grow. Sea Mar describes it as “a welcoming space for families, organizations, and community groups to gather, celebrate, and learn,” and on any given weekend, it lives up to that promise.
Together, the museum and community center form a cultural campus—part historical archive, part living room for the region’s Latino communities. Students come to learn about the Chicano activists who reshaped the University of Washington in the late 1960s. Families come to see their own histories reflected in the exhibits. Visitors come to understand a story that has long been present in Washington, even if it wasn’t always visible.
The Sea Mar Museum is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., offering free admission to anyone who walks through its doors. For many, it’s more than a museum—it’s a recognition, a gathering place, and a testament to the people who helped shape the Pacific Northwest.
