Did Alex Ovechkin score? Yes.

Plus: The game could have gotten out of control if the Caps penalty killers didn’t show up. The Caps only got one power play while the Kraken had four chances. The Caps penalty killer killed off all four.

Minus: The Kraken are a mediocre team that are playing very tired. The Caps should have owned the game from the beginning but they really didn’t until the third period. This is probably a case of playing down like the Caps tend to do.

Our Three Stars:
*** John Carlson (2A)
** Connor McMichael (1G, 1A)
* Charlie Lindgren (.938sv%)
