After looking at the top five road games, it’s only right we look ahead to the top five Washington Capitals home games of the 2019-20 season.

Based on the matchup, time of year, opponent, and even a former player or two, these are the games every Washington Capitals fan must go to. Capital One Arena will be the place to be that night and once again this fall, Capitals tickets will be the hottest tickets in town.

The Capitals will begin their home schedule after opening the season with their first two games on the road. That will come on Saturday, Oct. 5 against the Carolina Hurricanes in a rematch from last spring’s first round playoff series. The Capitals will have home games on Columbus Day, Thanksgiving Eve, Black Friday and New Years Eve.

No matter what day of the week, Capitals fans are sure to find a few games that fit their schedule and (if lucky enough) their budget. These matchups will all be quality and Capitals fans will look to continue to flood through the gates and rock the red. There isn’t a sellout streak stretching over 400 games for nothing.
