Kings Notes:
- The Kings have posted a record of 8-2-1 since the NHL All-Star break, good for the third-best mark in the league during that span.
- Kings goaltender Pheonix Copley will face his former team for the first time this evening, after playing 29 games for Washington from 2018 - 22.
Capitals Notes:
- The Capitals have converted at over 24 percent on the power play over their last ten games, the sixth-best rate in the NHL in that span.
- Washington defenseman Rasmus Sundin made his debut with the team last time out versus San Jose and collected three assists in a victory.
Who to Watch:
- Viktor Arvidsson: The shifty winger had three points when these teams met back in October and has 11 points (5-6-11) and a +7 rating from his last ten games versus Washington
- Alex Ovechkin: The Washington sniper has six goals from his last seven games played versus the Kings.
