A misplayed clearance attempt by Joey Daccord bounced in off T.J. Oshie for an opening goal, and an André Burakovsky turnover sprung a Connor McMichael breakaway as unforced errors led to a 2-1 Seattle Kraken loss to the Washington Capitals.

Three straight losses for the Seattle Kraken and any hopes of making the playoffs seem to be all but gone.A pair of unforced errors by the Kraken led to both goals for the Washington Capitals in a 2-1 loss on Thursday night.A misplayed clearance attempt from goaltender Joey Daccord bounced into the net off T.J. Oshie for an opening goal for Washington, and an André Burakovsky turnover sprung a Connor McMichael breakaway.

In this game, mistakes are going to happen," center Yanni Gourde said. "They end up in the back of our net. I thought Joey played good again tonight. Made some great saves on the kill there. I thought he played very well and it's just unfortunate."The Kraken benefited off just such a play themselves a little over two weeks ago when Linus Ullmark of the Boston Bruins had a clearance hit Jordan Eberle and quickly wound up in the net.
