"The Caps have been stumbling a bit of late, having dropped three in a row including two-straight in which they were outscored by a combined 10-1 margin."
"They return home tonight to face a Maple Leafs team going through some similar issues, having dropped three of their last five (although they are fresh off a win over Chicago back on Tuesday)."
"Back home in DC - time for the Caps to get things rolling in the right direction again!"
Washington has dropped three straight games, including two consecutive losses in which they were outscored by a combined 10-1. The losing streak increases pressure because the NHL standings are tightly contested. The Capitals return home to face the Toronto Maple Leafs, who have also struggled recently and have lost three of their last five games. Toronto enters the matchup having beaten Chicago on Tuesday, which could provide momentum. Both teams need a win to stop their respective slides and protect their positions in the standings. Playing in DC gives the Capitals an opportunity to regain form, tighten defense, and improve scoring output.
