Who: Washington Capitals (24-12-9, 57 points, 4th place Metropolitan Division) @ Pittsburgh Penguins (27-11-7, 61 points, 3rd place Metropolitan Division)
When: 7 p.m. Eastern
How to Watch: AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh (ATTSN-PT) locally in the Western PA viewing area, NBC Sports Washington, ESPN+
Opponent Track: It wasn’t a great January for the Caps, who finished just 4-6-2 in the first month of 2022. The needle is pointing up though, with a 5-0 shutout win in Dallas on Friday night. Perhaps even better is that they’ve been inactive since Friday, so they will be the more rested team entering this game.
