Capitals Seek Sixth Straight Win Against Kraken

The Washington Capitals are on a five-game win streak as they prepare to face the Seattle Kraken, holding a record of 32-10-5. Capitals coach Spencer Carbery praised the team's performance, noting significant contributions from offseason acquisitions like Pierre-Luc Dubois and Jakob Chychrun. Star player Alex Ovechkin is making headlines as he aims to surpass Wayne Gretzky's NHL goal-scoring record, currently having scored 21 goals in just 31 games despite a serious injury earlier in the season. The Kraken, struggling with a 21-24-3 record, will look to improve their performance at home. Both teams are meeting for the first time this season, with the Capitals showcasing a strong defensive record, allowing only an average of 1.8 goals over their last ten games. The game is set to start at 10:00 PM ET from Climate Pledge Arena.
