Story of the Day

The Capitals visit the Minnesota Wild tonight at Grand Casino Arena at 7 p.m. CT. The Capitals, who have earned at least one point in 13 of their last 15 games (10-2-3), will look to bounce back from a 5-1 loss against Winnipeg on Saturday, their first regulation loss since Nov. 22. Saturday’s game marked Washington’s third loss by three or more goals this season. That’s tied for the second fewest such losses in the NHL.

The Capitals have an 8-5-2 record on the road this season and rank fourth in the NHL in road goals per game (3.40) and seventh in road goals against per game (2.47). In addition, Washington’s .916 team save percentage away from Capital One Arena is the fifth highest in the League (per Natural Stat Trick). Since the start of last season, Washington owns the highest road points percentage in the NHL (.634) and ranks tied for first in road wins with 33.
