After a feel good win against Dallas on Tuesday, where the Rangers played extremely well against a very talented team, the Washington Capitals come to town on an 8-1-1 streak in their last ten games. This team is white-hot right now and not showing any signs of slowing down. They are deep defensively, even without John Carlson today, are getting great goaltending from Braden Holtby, and have one of the more potent offenses in the league.
One of the storylines today will be Alex Ovechkin’s quest to get to 500 goals.
