The Washington Capitals have not lost at Capital One Arena since November 30 against the Los Angeles Kings. That streak is now nine victories long and the team that will look to end it tonight is the struggling Vancouver Canucks. The Canucks have lost four straight overall and five straight on the road.
You can catch this one at 7 PM on NBCSWA and Peter will have your recap.
