The Washington Capitals ended their three-game losing streak with a 4-1 win in Dallas over the Stars, getting payback from a loss to the same team earlier in the week.
The Stars, meanwhile, dropped their fifth in their first six games after winning their first of the season against these Caps. So these guys split the season series this year at a game apiece and if they both go deep we could see these two talented clubs play again in June.
The Capitals won this contest with both a complete game and defense. The power play also came through once again while the penalty kill brushed away all six penalties they faced.
