Overview
- Utah opened a 2-0 lead on Dylan Guenther’s early strike—his career-high 28th of the season—and a Mikhail Sergachev power-play goal, with JJ Peterka adding another later.
- Washington converted both power-play chances through Pierre‑Luc Dubois and Ryan Leonard, yet its penalty kill allowed Utah to go 2-for-2 as well.
- Karel Vejmelka turned aside a late Capitals push to preserve the one-goal road victory.
- The loss snapped Washington’s five-game home winning streak and came without John Carlson (lower-body) and Aliaksei Protas (personal).
- Utah’s power play has clicked at 33.3% since early February and notched multiple man-advantage goals for the first time since Jan. 1.
