The Washington Capitals and San Jose Sharks are going in different directions heading into their matchup Tuesday night in the nation's capital. Washington has won five consecutive games after a 4-2 victory over Florida on Saturday night. T.J. Oshie scored twice, the second time he's done that in this young season, and Alex Ovechkin added two points. Ovechkin has 11 points in his last nine games with goals in six of his last nine contests as the Washington offense continue light up the scoreboard. Goalie Braden Holtby also has won four in a row, and those are big reasons why coach Barry Trotz doesn't want to adjust too many things. The Caps are by far the better and hotter team right now and I'll back them at home tonight against a Sharks team who cant wait to get back to the West coast.
