Logan Thompson, Caps stay hot in shutout of Ducks

capitals

Logan Thompson made 18 saves for the Washington Capitals in a 3-0 win against the visiting Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday night.

It was his first shutout with the Capitals and the fifth of his five-year NHL career. Thompson stretched his point streak to eight games (7-0-1) and improved his season record to 19-2-3.

Brandon Duhaime had a goal and an assist and John Carlson and Ethen Frank also scored for the Capitals, who extended their point streak to eight games (5-0-3).

John Gibson made 22 saves for the Ducks, who have lost four of five (1-3-1).

Anaheim was shut out for the second time in the past three games after not getting blanked in the first 41 games.

Duhaime was credited with the goal that gave Washington a 1-0 lead at 7:34 of the first period.

Jakob Chychrun carried the puck into the left circle and took a shot from the dot that was saved by Gibson. Chychrun’s follow up on the rebound glanced off the leg of Duhaime and into the net.

Washington extended the lead to 2-0 at 14:30 of the first.

Ducks defenseman Brian Dumoulin tried to pass the puck out of his zone, but it was intercepted by Carlson in the neutral zone. He gave the puck up and then quickly got it back before skating to the inside edge of the right circle and scoring with a wrist shot.

Frank scored for the second straight game when he finished off a two-on-one rush with Pierre-Luc Dubois, scoring with a wrist shot from the right circle to extend the lead to 3-0 with 59 seconds left in the second period.

Frank has two goals and an assist in his first three NHL games, becoming the first Washington player to record at least a point in each of his first three games since Andre Burakovsky in 2014-15.

Ducks leading scorer Troy Terry returned after missing the past three games for the birth of his second child.
