"Ryan's brother John Leonard opened scoring for both his team and his NHL career by crashing the net. Trevor's brother James van Riemsdyk doubled the lead by seizing on a rebound. The Wings earned two more goals in the second period: Soderblom outmanuevered Strome to score backhanded, then Seider scored on a breakaway. Aliaksei Protas busted up the shutout before intermission arrived."
"Marty Fehervary beat John Gibson on an improvised shot to make the third period a little more interesting, but not that much more interesting. Jakob Chychrun had a goal overturned for interference - more on that in a moment - and they couldn't effect a real comeback. Dylan Larkin, who totally dived on the Carlson hooking penalty, got a long-distance empty-netter. Caps lose."
Washington Capitals lost decisively to the Detroit Red Wings in a blowout that amplified concerns about the team's downward trajectory. Detroit scored early through John Leonard and James van Riemsdyk, added two second-period goals from Soderblom and Seider, and held control for most of the game. Aliaksei Protas and Marty Fehervary provided Capitals goals that failed to spark a sustained comeback. Jakob Chychrun had a goal overturned for interference and the Caps finished with a late empty-net goal from Dylan Larkin. Washington was increasingly outshot, including a 13-to-5 deficit during five-on-five late in the first period.
