The Washington Capitals (5-1-0) will be looking to notch their fifth consecutive win tonight against the Edmonton Oilers (3-4-0). The Oilers are trying to add to their own three-game hot streak. With one of the youngest rosters in the NHL, including budding star and first overall draft pick Connor McDavid, the Oilers will be looking to play spoiler to the favored Eastern Conference’s third ranked Washington Capitals.
For the Caps, the contest comes on back-to-back nights following last night’s 3-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks. The Oilers are in the middle of a three game home stand with a date against the Los Angeles Kings next on Sunday night.
