The Washington Capitals have won six of their last seven games and with another dub tonight, they can get out of the dreaded second wild card spot (where they’d play the Florida Panthers).
Tonight the Capitals face the Vegas Golden Knights in game four of their five-game road trip. Vegas needs this W to stay in contention for a playoff spot, meaning this game should be pretty intense. Keyword: should.
Ilya Samsonov will jump back into net for the Capitals. Tonight’s game is on NBC Sports Washington.

Kuzy scores on the goal line. 1-0 WSH.
Ovi’s shot squirted through Lehner’s pads. It was reminiscent of Lars Eller’s G5SCWG.
The first goal tonight for the Caps was a carbon copy of the goal Lars Eller scored to win the Stanley Cup in 2018 AND on the same net. #ALLCAPS pic.twitter.com/ZgUhwl0Aqt

A great passing play leads to a John Carlson goal. It was reviewed anddd…
Tom Wilson was offside. NO GOAL.
Ovi no. 49. Historic. 2-1 WSH.
