After downing the Boston Bruins and recording their first winning streak since the first three games of the season, the Capitals now turn to the Arizona Coyotes. If you wanted an example of how it could always be worse, the Coyotes have only won two of their first 15 games.
Game is at 7 PM on NBCSWA. Elyse has her first recap of the season!
