Impact A late scoring change gave Frank the second helper on Alex Ovechkin's game-tying goal in the third period. After playing primarily on the third line, the Capitals swapped Frank and Taylor Raddysh's spots in the lineup for Wednesday's contest. Frank has managed seven points, 19 shots on net, 10 hits, 11 blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-6 rating over 21 appearances this season.

Scores in Thursday's win Frank scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.

Impact Frank ended a three-game point drought with the second-period tally after he forced a turnover and scored on the rush. The 26-year-old winger had seen his ice time dip in recent contests, and while he's listed on the third line, that's typically the Capitals' least-used forward trio. Frank is at three goals, one assist, seven shots on net, five hits, four blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over his first seven NHL appearances.

Lights lamp again in win Frank scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Ducks.

Impact Frank has opened his NHL career on a three-game point streak (two goals, one assist). He's been a perfect fit on the third line so far, playing alongside Taylor Raddysh and Lars Eller to give the Capitals a bit more scoring depth. Frank is unlikely to be a point-per-game player over a long stretch, but the 26-year-old's scoring touch has been evident in the minors over the last three years -- he has 79 goals across 156 games with AHL Hershey in that span.
