"The Washington Capitals are free fallin' down the standings. Already three points out of the final wild-card spot in the East, our dear Caps are facing a difficult six-game road trip that takes them out west and into Canada. Their first test will come against the NHL's best team by a country mile the Colorado Avalanche, who had 10 more standings points than any other team coming in today."
"Nathan Mackinnon is en midst of a career year. He's already scored 36 goals, which leads the league, and is second in points (82), trailing only Connor McDavid who has 85. The Capitals will get Justin Sourdif back today, which will be a boost up the middle, but will be without Tom Wilson for an eighth-straight game. Charlie Lindgren will start and oppose Scott Wedgewood in net."
