Capitals @ Avalanche Recap: Avs Stave Off Caps Comeback, Win 3-2

The Washington Capitals made their annual trip to the Mile High City tonight to face the Colorado Avalanche, wrapping up this season’s series with the Avs and playing in their 50th (!) game of the season. When these two teams met in October, Alexandar Georgiev posted a 4-0 shutout win over Washington. The Capitals are coming off a forgettable loss in Las Vegas on Saturday night and Colorado has won its last five games, including two in a row at home. This is also the first time both Darcy Kuemper and Nicolas Aube-Kubel have returned to Colorado since winning the Stanley Cup with the Avs in June.
