Snapshots of the Week Ahead: Week 12

Then again, the two are hard to separate, the former being so important to the success in the latter for the players. The Caps got the annual trip with the mentors off to a good start in Tampa with a 5-2 win over the Lightning, and this week they will complete the final two legs of the trip with a rematch from last week in Columbus and a visit to New Jersey before wrapping up the week at home with a rematch against the Lightning.
