The Washington Capitals celebrated their sixth consecutive victory with a 3-0 win against the Seattle Kraken, marking their first six-game winning streak in nearly four years and solidifying a 12-game point streak. Key players like Aliaksei Protas, who scored twice to reach a personal milestone of 20 goals, and Pierre-Luc Dubois, who contributed with assists, drove the team's success. Captain Alex Ovechkin added an empty-net goal, further closing in on Wayne Gretzky's all-time record. Meanwhile, goaltender Charlie Lindgren earned his first shutout of the season, showcasing a strong defensive performance. In the hockey community, Logan Thompson's exclusion from Canada's 4 Nations Face-Off roster raised eyebrows, especially given his impressive stats this season, while college prospects Ryan Leonard and Cole Hutson were nominated for the prestigious Hobey Baker Award, highlighting their impressive performances in NCAA hockey.
