WASHINGTON -- Nic Dowd had a goal and an assist in the Washington Capitals' 4-1 win against the Seattle Kraken at Capital One Arena on Tuesday.

Ryan Leonard scored in his second consecutive game for the Capitals (5-2-0), who have won five of their past six games and bounced back from a 4-3 loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday in which they trailed 4-0. Aliaksei Protas had two assists, and Logan Thompson made 18 saves.

“I liked our start a lot,” Capitals coach Spencer Carbery said. “We challenged our group a little bit and the guys knew just based on what went on on Sunday that we wanted to have a better start. It was a little bit sloppy at times, but the first period was good, the second period was even better.”
