WASHINGTON (AP) --- Jared McCann broke a tie with 5:27 left and the Seattle
Kraken overcame NHL career leader Alex Ovechkin's first goal of the season to
beat the Washington Capitals 5-3 on Sunday night.
Jordan Eberle, Frederick Gaudreau, Kaapo Kakko and Ryan Winterton also scored
to help the Kraken improve to 4-2-0. Joey Daccord stopped 33 shots.
On the deciding goal, McCann cut to the middle and beat goalie Logan Thompson
on a quick shot. Ryan Winterton iced it with 2:40 left.
Jordan Kyrou and Boone Jenner also scored for Washington as the Capitals
dropped to 3-2-0. Thompson made 22 saves.
After back-to-back penalty kills, Seattle got off to a quick start, with Kakko
sneaking in a rebound just 6:06 minutes into the game.
The Capitals responded with two goals in a 5:06 span. First, Kyrou buried a
cross-ice feed from Cole Hutson for his first with Washington. Then, after a
strong forecheck and forced turnover from brothers Aliaksei and Ilya Protas,
Ovechkin got the puck alone in front and sniped a quick shot past Daccord for
his 930th NHL goal.
After Eberle tied it with 10 seconds left in the first, the Kraken pulled ahead
3-2 with 6:36 to go in the second when Gaudreau slid a backhander past
Thompson. The Capitals tied it 46 seconds into the third, with Jenner scoring
off this own rebound.
