Caps down the Ducks. Thompson’s Shutout, & Trade Rumors Surrounding Yanni Gourde

The Washington Capitals delivered an electrifying performance during Caps Canine Night, securing a 3-0 victory over the Anaheim Ducks. This win marked their first back-to-back triumph since late December, fueled by standout contributions from Brandon Duhaime, who had a goal and an assist. The team saw significant offensive improvement, surpassing 20 shots on goal for the first time in three games, largely due to smart adjustments made by the coaching staff. Key players like Pierre-Luc Dubois, Alex Ovechkin, John Carlson, and Ethen Frank also made impactful plays, while Logan Thompson shined in goal, achieving a shutout with 18 saves. As the Capitals continue to build momentum, trade rumors are heating up ahead of the March 7 deadline, with early speculations linking them to Yanni Gourde of the Seattle Kraken. Gourde, who has a solid track record and experience from his time with the Tampa Bay Lightning, could potentially bolster the Caps’ depth at center. However, his hefty salary and current injury status are factors the team will need to consider as they evaluate trade options. Overall, the Capitals are looking to maintain their recent success and make strategic moves to enhance their chances for a deep playoff run.
