Andy Welinski, who made his NHL debut Monday, became the first Ducks rookie to record a point in each of his first two games since Alex Grant in 2013. ... Hampus Lindholm and Nick Ritchie remained out Thursday but could return Saturday. ... Capitals star Alex Ovechkin is tied for the league lead in goals with 22. He and teammate Evgeny Kuznetsov both have 35 points, tied for 12th in the NHL.
