It has been a long time since the Washington Capitals beat the Dallas Stars in regulation. In fact, last season’s overtime win in Dallas was the first time the Capitals had managed to beat the team in a while. Dallas has an all-time mind-boggling record of 21-2-5 against Washington since the Stars moved to town in 1993.
Unfortunately, they’ll be meeting a fairly hot team in tonight’s contest, so a win isn’t necessarily all but written in ink for this one. The Capitals have one of the best records of late, going 10-2-0 in their last 12 games.
