After entering the All-Star break exactly where they want to be — at the top of the Eastern Conference and with the most points in the NHL — the Washington Capitals will look to finish the year strong before heading into the postseason. With 49 games down and 33 remaining, there’s still plenty of hockey to be played.
Of the games left, 16 will be played at Verizon Center, while 17 will be on the road. So far, the caps are 19-5-1 at home and 14-5-5 on the road.
Washington still has a tough test ahead, with 12 games coming against teams currently in the top-10 in points.
