WASHINGTON — With Pierre-Luc Dubois out of the mix, the Washington Capitals were left without one of their most important pieces, and it showed.
The Washington Capitals fell 5-3 to the Seattle Kraken on Sunday as they struggled to adjust without ill forward Pierre-Luc Dubois. Jordan Kyrou, Alex Ovechkin, and Boone Jenner each scored for Washington, but late third-period defensive breakdowns allowed Seattle's Jared McCann and Ryan Winterton to secure the victory.
Ovechkin scored his 930th career NHL goal against Kraken goaltender Joey Daccord, moving within 10 goals of Wayne Gretzky's all-time record. Capitals head coach reshuffled line combinations throughout the game, but the team ultimately could not overcome Dubois' absence.
