Although this past week saw the Washington Capitals snap a nine-game winning streak, they still have the most points in the NHL and are playing the best hockey of anyone. They are currently riding a two- game win streak and have won 11 of their last 12.
Washington has also passed Columbus for first place in the Eastern Conference.
The upcoming week is shorter than normal, as the All-Star break begins Friday. However, while the week itself is short, the Caps still have three games that they will play in four days.
Washington will start the week with a home matchup against division foe Carolina.
