Live updates: Washington Capitals vs Seattle Kraken at Climate Pledge Arena

The Washington Capitals are back for Game 2 of their five-game road trip. Tonight they’ll face off against the Seattle Kraken.

The Caps won their first away game 3-2 over the Connor McDavid-less Edmonton Oilers despite being massively outshot and a weird Nachos Goal. Logan Thompson came to the rescue stopping 30 of 32 shots and tallying an assist on the game-winning goal.

Charlie Lindgren will jump back into the starter’s role for the first time since his injury and oppose Joey Daccord in net.

This game marks the first time two female coaches have opposed each other in NHL history.

The Capitals-Kraken game is airing on Monumental Sports Network2. Joe Beninati and Alan May will have the call. Puck drop is at 10:00 pm. Craig Laughlin is out due to a medical leave of absence. #LockerStrong.

Tunnel shenanigans

1st Period

Puck is dropped.

Martin Fehervary picks the top left corner with Nic Dowd setting a perfect screen in front on Joey Daccord. The Kraken are challenging the goal for offside at the 4:06 mark.

No goal. The call on the ice is reversed upon review.

Six minutes in, the Kraken have no shots and the Caps have 6.

Capitals go six whole minutes without a shot, though a great shift from the third line gets them going again.

Daccord stops Andrew Mangiapane on a clean breakaway, going to the splits to stop him at the post.

Connor McMichael is stopped on a semi-breakaway down the left wing as he tries to go five-hole on his backhand. He’s shaking his head on the bench. McMike has grown cold after a sensational start to the season.

At intermission: The score is 0-0. The Capitals lead the Kraken in shots 15 to 9 and are out-attempting them 20 to 18 at five-on-five — though the Caps had a real tough stretch in the middle of the period where did not much of anything.

2nd Period

Puck is dropped.

Big saves by Daccord on McMichael and Fehervary.

🚨 1-0 Washington Capitals. WSH Goal: Aliaksei Protas (20). Assists: P. Dubois (30). Time: 04:36.

Protas whacks at the puck out of mid-air and it somehow chunks past Daccord. Protas is now the Capitals’ player to score 20 goals this season including Alex Ovechkin and Tom Wilson.

Lars Eller can’t finish after a sensational pass by Ethen Frank. Frank already had two shots on goal in the first period, tied for the Caps lead.

John Carlson rips a shot off the post — Carlson again unlucky. Caps coming in waves here.

Jakob Chychrun hits the post about a minute after Carlson.

Kraken to their first power play after Taylor Raddysh trips Ryker Evans at the 13:12 mark.

At the 14:07 mark, Martin Fehervary gets hit in the face with a shot. He appears to be bleeding from the nose area as he skates off the ice and down the tunnel. The Kraken’s point shot ramped up after hitting Tom Wilson’s stick.

🚨 2-0 Washington Capitals. WSH Goal: Ethen Frank (3). Unassisted. Time: 18:05.

Ethen Frank scores on a rebound after he uses his insane speed to spring himself on a breakaway. He’s now got 4 points in his first 7 NHL games.

Charlie Lindgren stops Oliver Bjorkstrand with his glove on a breakaway.

At intermission: Caps lead 2-0. The Capitals are outshooting Seattle 25 to 13 and are out-attempting them 42 to 35 at five-on-five. Lindgren faced only three Kraken shots in the period.

3rd Period

Puck is dropped.

Tom Wilson with a huge hit on Kraken defenseman Joshua Mahura at the Capitals bench. John Hayden then starts whispering sweet nothings in Wilson’s ear but the two just chat. You can hear muffled screaming from angry players on the telecast.

Lars Eller stopped on a breakaway.

🚨 3-0 Washington Capitals. WSH ENG: Alex Ovechkin (22). Assists: T. van Riemsdyk (14), J. Chychrun (19). Time: 16:32.

That’s Alex Ovechkin’s 875th career goal. He’s 19 away from Wayne Gretzky. He won a puck battle in the defensive zone and fired the puck into Seattle’s empty net.

Capitals win 3-0. Charlie Lindgren gets the shutout. The Capitals have no lost in regulation since the start of 2025 going 9-0-3. Washington outshot Seattle 33 to 22 and out-attempted the Kraken at five-on-five 60 to 53.
