Washington took Friday night after Timothy Liljegren tied it and Boone Jenner scored his first as a Cap once Igor Shesterkin left with a lower-body injury (recap). Logan Thompson stopped 21; the Metro math is still clean (3-0-0 in-division entering Sunday).

Who to watch for in warmups

Pierre-Luc Dubois missed Saturday's skate with an illness — morning skate is the tell. Matt Roy (lower body) remains out. Seattle arrives with a plus goal differential early; do not treat this like a soft home cupcake.

If Cap One stays loud through the first period, the Caps have the building edge they used on the Rangers. If Seattle's forecheck flips the ice, Washington's thin defensive depth gets tested again.
