Washington Capitals Stats
- Aliaksei Protas is riding a five-game point streak and continues to stand out for the Capitals up front.
- Pierre-Luc Dubois has goals in four of his last five games and six points in the last five overall. His 24 points over the last 25 games lead Washington.
- Jakob Chychrun has points in three of his last five outings.
Washington Capitals Storylines
- Watch out for Dylan Strome; he busted out of a lengthy goal drought last game and is looking stronger over this recent stretch.
- Of course, that also means watch for Alex Ovechkin, who has been hungry to get back to his high-scoring ways, too. He had the OT winner the last time these two teams met.
- Tom Wilson has also been dangerous, and with his grit, expect fireworks against Brady Tkachuk.
