After dropping three of the last four games, the Washington Capitals will take the ice Thursday in search of a win against the Devils. It’s the first of four meetings between the two teams. They will meet right away on Saturday in New Jersey.
It has been an up-and-down season for the Caps. Just when they seem to be getting into a rhythm things slow down for a bit. Inconsistency has been a big issue this year — looking like the best team in the league one night and something far more mediocre the next.
Washington’s offense has been the main problem so far.
