The Washington Capitals will go for their seventh win in a row tonight against a gritty Arizona Coyotes team. With a 9-6-2 record, good for 20 points, the Coyotes are just behind the Winnipeg Jets and Vegas Golden Knights in the Wild Card standings and are within striking distance in the tight Pacific Division.
The Capitals are 13-2-3 and seem to be rolling on all cylinders early in the season with 29 points and leading all the competition. Many players have stepped up and tonight against his former team, Richard Panik is due.
