The Capitals continue their five-game homestand today when they host the New Jersey Devils at Capital One Arena for the first of four meetings between the teams this season. Washington and New Jersey will complete a home-and-home set on Nov. 12 at Prudential Center and Nov. 14 at Capital One Arena before concluding the season series on Jan. 24 in Newark. Washington earned five out of a possible eight points (2-1-1) against New Jersey in 2025-26. Alex Ovechkin and Aliaksei Protas led Washington with four points (2g, 2a) in four games against the Devils last season.

Alex Tuch recorded three points (2g, 1a) on Wednesday vs. Montreal, marking his second multi-goal effort in seven games with the Capitals. Tuch’s first goal came shorthanded, his 13th career shorthanded goal. Tuch’s 10 shorthanded goals since the start of the 2024-25 season are the most in the NHL, while his 15 shorthanded points are tied for the most.

Tuch (5g-1a–6p in 7 GP) leads the Capitals in goals and co-leads the team in points. Tuch’s five goals are the second-most he has scored through the first seven games of a season (2022-23: 6g in 7 GP).
