    Don’t look now but the Washington Capitals are on a mini winning streak. The Capitals have won their last three games via a resurgent offense that has scored 14 goals in the process. Tonight the Capitals travel to Edmonton where they’ll play the Oilers in their second game in as many nights.

    The lineups is the exact same as last night except for one thing: Ilya Samsonov will start over Vitek Vanecek.

    Tonight’s game is on TNT. No Joe B or Locker. 🙁

    It could be worse? They could be losing.

    It's 0-0 at the first intermission. But the big stat: the Capitals were outshot by the Oilers 20-9.

    The Caps are playing their second game in as many nights.

    Nicklas Backstrom scores to put the Caps up 1-0. That’s point no. 999.
