"The lineup? Still battered. The odds? Still against them. But the Caps are currently riding a massive two-game winning streak following a shootout win over the Wings back on Thursday and a come-from-behind overtime win over the 'Canes on Saturday. Now they just need to find that same fire, that same focus, and apply it to what will be a tough one-two punch over the next two days to extend their streak further."

The Washington Capitals enter the stretch with a battered lineup and unfavorable odds. The team has won two straight games: a shootout victory over the Red Wings and a come-from-behind overtime win over the Hurricanes. The recent results have generated momentum that requires sustained fire and focus. The next two days include a difficult back-to-back against the Islanders and Flyers. Both opponents are direct competitors for the Metropolitan Division’s third spot, increasing the stakes. Early February reduces formal "must-win" pressure, but this back-to-back series feels like a pivotal opportunity to extend the streak.
