After taking over sole possession of first place in the Pacific Division with a resounding 3-2 victory over the LA Kings on Saturday, the Ducks resume action tonight against the league’s top dog, the Washington Capitals.
To be the best, you have to beat the best, and tonight will be a measuring stick game against a team that was the first to reach 100 points this season. But even the league-leading Capitals haven’t been soaring as high as the Ducks since the Christmas break. At 25-4-2 (52 points), the Ducks have the top record in the NHL since the holiday break, while the Capitals rank second in that span at 23-7-2 (48 points).
