Washington Capitals Storylines

- Alex Ovechkin scored career goal No. 887 back on Saturday and needs just eight more to break Wayne Gretzky’s all-time goals record.

- Trevor van Riemsdyk ended a 145-game goal drought last game and will look to remain offensively involved.

- Last game against Detroit, Washington got off to a slow start but rallied with a huge third for the win. Look for the Capitals to try and start on time.
