The Washington Capitals collapsed late in a game for the second match in a row, ruining a dominant start against the Stars. Another night of futility on the power play also contributed to the 4-3 overtime loss that saw the Caps scrape a point with a pulled goalie goal.
The Caps out-shot the Stars 32 to 26 and out-attempted them at five-on-five 43 to 28.

The Dallas Stars made the trip east to take on your Washington Capitals for the first time this season. Tyler Seguin’s bunch has had a rough start to the year, dropping games to the Bruins, Blues, and Red Wings. Could they turn it around in DC?
Evgeny Kuznetsov was your first goal scorer of the night, announcing his return in his first period of the season. Roope Hintz tied things at one early in the second period. John Carlson squeezed one through Ben Bishop to give the Caps a lead again.
Nick Caamano with the third period winner. Nicklas Backstrom tied it with the netminder pulled. Tyler Seguin overtime winner.
Stars beat Caps 4-3.
