The Washington Capitals continued their current homestand with a matchup against the San Jose Sharks, and had a few different faces in the lineup, including forward Hendrix Lapierre and defenseman Hardy Haman Aktell.
Entering the third period down 1-0, the Capitals received a goal from a red-hot Dylan Strome, notching his sixth tally of the season and knotting the game at 1-1.
Nick Jensen and Haman Aktell recorded the assists on the goal, and in doing so, Haman Aktell recorded the first point of his NHL career.

Glad he got in lineup tonight. Looked solid out there. Like to see him play again on Thursday.
