Story of the Day

The Capitals host the New Jersey Devils tonight at Capital One Arena for the third of four meetings between the teams this season. After dropping a 5-3 decision to the Devils in the season opener on Oct. 12, the Capitals defeated New Jersey 5-4 in overtime on Oct. 19 at Prudential Center. Tom Wilson scored two goals in the victory, including the game-winner four minutes into overtime. Wilson (2g-1a–3p), Dylan Strome (1g-2a–3p), Connor McMichael (1g-1a–2p), Jakob Chychrun (0g-2a–2p) and Trevor van Riemsdyk (0g-2a–2p) all recorded multiple points on Oct. 19. The Capitals and Devils will conclude their season series next Saturday in Newark. Washington is 128-80-13-18 all-time vs. New Jersey and 15-3-3 against the Devils since the start of the 2020-21 season. In addition, the Capitals have earned at least one point in eight of their last 11 home games vs. New Jersey (6-2-3).

The Capitals have allowed just two goals against in four-straight games and have gone 3-1-0 in that stretch. Washington has allowed two or fewer goals in 10 of its 19 games this season, with seven of those games coming in the month of November. The Capitals, who are one of 10 teams to surrender two or fewer goals at least 10 times, are 9-1-0 in such instances, with their lone loss being a 2-1 defeat to Colorado on Thursday.

Entering today’s slate of games, the Capitals rank ninth in the NHL in goals against per game (2.74) and 10th in shots against per game (28.3) this season. In addition, Washinton’s .922 team save percentage since Nov. 1 ranks fifth in the League in that span (per Natural Stat Trick).
