SATURDAY, APRIL 11

Washington Capitals at Pittsburgh Penguins (3 p.m. ET; ABC, TVAS)

This is the first of a back-to-back set between the Capitals and Penguins; they will play again in Washington on Sunday. The Capitals (39-30-9) are one of the handful of teams competing for the second wild card in the East, as well as third in the Metropolitan. Alex Ovechkin has 31 goals and leads Washington in points and only he knows is this will be his final season, but if it is, you can bet he’d like one more chance at winning the Stanley Cup again. The Penguins (40-22-16) are trying to get back to the playoffs after missing for three straight seasons, and how about three of their oldest players in Sidney Crosby (38), Erik Karlsson (35) and Evgeni Malkin (39) leading the charge? Pittsburgh is definitely a team that no one would want to play in the spring because of what Crosby can and has done in the postseason.

Vegas Golden Knights at Colorado Avalanche (8 p.m. ET; ABC)

The Golden Knights (35-26-16) have won three in a row since John Tortorella replaced Bruce Cassidy and will have about two weeks under their new coach before the playoffs begin. They have definitely looked good so far. The Avalanche (50-16-10) continue to roll along and are the favorite to win the Cup. Nathan MacKinnon leads the League in goals, is among the leaders in points and is a whopping plus-57. And Nazem Kadri has fit in seamlessly since being reacquired by Colorado prior to the Trade Deadline.
