This is a 10* NON-CONFERENCE BLOWOUT GAME OF THE YEAR on the Washington Capitals.
Vancouver returns home off a much better than expected lengthy road trip, while Washington has had considerable time off after last falling to Florida. With the high-powered Capitals looking to kick off their Western road swing on the "right foot," the Canucks are the perfect opponent to beat up on. Vancouver won four of five on its opening season road trip, most recently beating Minnesota 1-0. Jake Viranen got the loan goal in that one. Vancouver though was outshot 29-25 in that one. Goaltender Anders Nilsson made 29 saves and has looked good in the early going. Note that that Nilsson is 0-3-1 against the Capitals with a 3.64 GAA, while Jacob Markstrom is 0-5-0 with a 3.51 GAA against Washington. The Capitals will be eager to start their new big win streak as they come into this one with a pedestrian 4-4-1 record. Alex Ovechkin has ten goals and 11 points overall for the Capitals this season, while goaltender Braden Holtby is 4-2-0 on the year with 2.31 GAA (note that Holtby is 3-1 with a 1.76 GAA lifetime against the Canucks.) The Capitals are 6-1 in their last seven following a home loss of three goals or more, while Vancouver is a horrible 6-21 in its last 27 home games against a club which has a winning road record. It's a classic "trap" game for the young and over-achieving Canucks, who return home in a major letdown spot. Conversely, it's going to be all hands on deck for Washington as it puts its full focus onto the ice tonight. Play on the CAPITALS.
