WASHINGTON — Nic Dowd, Ryan Leonard and Jakob Chychrun scored for Washington, and the Capitals defeated the Seattle Kraken 4-1 on Tuesday night.

Tom Wilson also scored for Washington, into an empty net in the final minute.

Jaden Schwartz had the only goal for Seattle, which was on the second night of a back to back. The Kraken lost both in regulation after earning points in each of their first five games.

Washington wrapped up a homestand in which it went 3-1. The Capitals fell behind 4-0 in a 4-3 loss to Vancouver on Sunday, but they were much sharper at the start of this one.

Brandon Duhaime entered the offensive zone along the right side in the first period before finding John Carlson open between the circles. Carlson made one more pass to Dowd, who scored on an easy redirect.
