SEATTLE -- Alex Ovechkin scored his 875th career goal and 22nd of the season, and the Washington Capitals pushed their win streak to six games with a 3-0 shutout victory at Climate Pledge Arena on Thursday.

The Capitals aren't making any changes after a perfect 3-0 win over the Seattle Kraken back on Thursday. Charlie Lindgren will make his second consecutive start, while Logan Thompson will get the net back in his hometown of Calgary on Tuesday. Here are the combinations:

Thompson is coming off back-to-back shutouts and has shown over the last three games that he can remain consistent with a bigger workload. His .924 save percentage is the third-best in the league, and he leads the NHL in points percentage thanks to his 20-2-3 record.

Ovechkin scored his 22nd goal of the season to push his career total to 875. Gretzky scored 894 goals in the NHL.

Several streaks, including a run of 12 games with a point, come to an end as the Capitals are stymied by some crafty work in goal in 2-1 loss to Canucks.
