The Washington Capitals will play their first game inside Capital One Arena since March 4th of last year. That is a span of 324 days. They’ll welcome a familiar opponent who they opened the season up against in the Buffalo Sabres. The Caps came out victorious in both of those games and will look to draw on momentum from those to get back in the win column.
The Caps are 15-1-2 in their last 18 home openers. All time in home openers they are 26-15-2-2.
