One night after getting a goalie goal, the Pittsburgh Penguins (19-21-8) struggled to get a skater to score. The revamped and increasingly dominant Washington Capitals (31-10-5) smothered the Penguins’ every offensive hope and got just enough offense to pin down the Penguins for a 4-1 at Capital One Arena Saturday.

Vince Dunn scored the go-ahead goal with a two-man advantage late in the second period as the Seattle Kraken defeated the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins 4-1 on Saturday, spoiling a historic afternoon for Sidney Crosby.

Rather than ice a roster merely helping Ovi break Gretzky's record, the Caps have been one of the NHL's best. Here's how they threaded the needle.

The turning point of the Kraken's win over Sidney Crosby and the Penguins was a timeout ahead of a power play that led to a tie-breaking goal by Vince Dunn.

The Penguins, looking to rebound from their previous loss on Thursday against the Anaheim Ducks (5-1), faced a determined Seattle Kraken squad on Saturday, January 25th, at Climate Pledge Arena.
