First three-game winning streak of the season: Capitals beat Kraken 4-1

The Washington Capitals were back home on Friday night and hosting the Seattle Kraken. Could the Caps start a little streak before they head back out on the road again?

Adam Larsson sent a seeing-eye wrister from the point to open the scoring. Anthony Mantha clicked a loose puck off of Jamie Oleksiak to tie the game. Marcus Johansson scored on an extended Caps power play to give the Caps a lead. Lars Eller empty netter. Alex Ovechkin empty netter.

This is your place to check for updates and comment along with the Washington Capitals vs. Seattle Kraken game on December 9, 2022.

The Washington Capitals are back home after a six-game road trip where they went 3-2-1. The team is on a modest winning streak (2 games) and will look to make it three against one of the most surprising teams in the league this season.

The Seattle Kraken, who beat the Capitals 3-2 in overtime earlier in the month, are 15-7-3 in the vaunted Pacific Division, sitting six standings points behind first-place Vegas.

The Kraken are led by rookie sensation Matty Beniers who has 10 goals and 21 points in 25 games.

Tonight’s game is on NBC Sports Washington and the Capitals are wearing their Reverse Retro jerseys. Puck drop is a little after 7 pm.

PS – Today is RMNB’s 13th birthday as a blog.

The good times on the road did not last very long: numbers for the morning after

As the title of this post states, the good vibes on the Capitals’ west coast road trip didn’t last too long as the Caps fell in overtime to the Seattle Kraken 3-2. Despite the loser’s point, the team will leave Washington state knowing they could have grabbed the full two as winners.

You really can’t go over 45 minutes without scoring in the NHL and win a ton of games.

The inability to score more than two goals burns Washington yet again: Kraken beat Capitals 3-2 (OT)

The Washington Capitals made their second-ever visit to the beautiful Climate Pledge Arena to take on the Seattle Kraken on Thursday. The former Cap-filled Kraken are red hot but could the current Caps throw some ice water on that flame?

Martin Fehervary slammed the Caps into the lead with his second goal in as many games. Conor Sheary doubled that lead on a power play some minutes later. Jaden Schwartz got the Kraken into the game with a power play goal of his own in the second.

Yanni Gourde pots the late equalizer. Matty Beniers overtime winner.

Kraken beat Capitals 3-2.

Capitals vs Kraken live analysis and updates (Dec. 1, 2022)

This is your place to check for updates and comment along with the Washington Capitals vs. Seattle Kraken game on December 1, 2022.

It’s Game 2 of RMNB: After Dark, my friends. Tonight, the Capitals take on the Kraken in Seattle. It’s only the second time the Caps have played at Climate Pledge Arena.

The Capitals are coming off a 5-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks where Alex Ovechkin scored twice and passed Wayne Gretzky for the most road goals in NHL history.

What to watch for? The Seattle Kraken are not suck anymore. They’re sitting in second place of the Pacific Division (14-5-3) this season. They’re 11-1-1 in their last 13 games and on a six-game heater.

A reminder: Former Capital Andre Burakovsky is one of the stars on the Kraken. He recently scored the game-winner in Seattle’s NINE TO EIGHT overtime victory over the LA Kings.

The Kraken’s creepy, non-sea-monster mascot is named Buoy. So if you see a big troll, that’s not you dreaming – that’s really happening on your TV.

Puck drop is a little after 10 pm on NBC Sports Washington. It worked last time so… Crash the bed / Snoar moar goals!

Seattle Kraken unveil new mascot which is not actually a sea monster. Meet: Buoy the Troll!

The Seattle Kraken revealed its first mascot on Saturday and it actually has something in common with some of our more critical Twitter followers. It should go back under the bridge from where it came.

After a year-long wait, Buoy the Troll was unveiled to the Kraken crowd during its preseason game against the Vancouver Canucks, Saturday.

Buoy rappelled down from the rafters where he was met by mild cheers from a confused Seattle crowd.

To be precise, Buoy is not a sea monster but is monstrous.

Andre Burakovsky’s special nickname for Philipp Grubauer

Andre Burakovsky was a beloved, but kinda annoying teammate (I think in the best way?) during his time in Washington. Now he’s bringing his Burkie Chaos to Washington state.

After winning a second Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche in June, Burakovsky hit the free agent market as one of the best wingers available and signed a five-year deal worth $5.5 million per season with the Seattle Kraken.

Not only was the deal Burakovsky’s biggest to date, but it also reunited the Swede with a few former Capitals teammates in Philipp Grubauer and Michal Kempny — both players from the Caps’ 2018 Stanley Cup team.
