Capitals vs. Avalanche: The matchup
The Avalanche are 33-5-8 this season and 19-1-3 on their home ice, and they pace the Western Conference’s Central Division by 11 points over second-place Dallas. But Colorado is also looking to break out of a rare rut with four losses in its past six games, including back-to-back losses to the Toronto Maple Leafs (4-3 in OT) and Nashville Predators (7-3) on its home ice on Monday and Friday.
The Capitals head west for the first of a six-game road trip taking them through Colorado, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Seattle and Detroit in a loop back to the East Coast. Washington is 2-6-6 over its past 10 road games and sits fourth in the Metropolitan Division, which features a tight race for position behind division leader Carolina. The Caps are getting it done with a group effort with eight players scoring at least 28 points, topped by Tom Wilson’s 42 points. d
