The Washington Capitals look to sweep their three-game road trip on Wednesday night in Philadelphia. They’ve already beaten the Islanders and Rangers over the weekend. Here are your pregame notes.
The Capitals come into tonight’s game winners of six of their last seven games. They enter this game tonight tied with the Islanders for first place in the Metropolitan Division with 83 points each. Washington carries a 38-21-7 record, identical to the Islanders. The Isles defeated the Senators 5-4 in the shootout.
The Capitals are coming off not only wins in both New York venues but winners of four in a row, a streak that began last Sunday against the Rangers.
