The Washington Capitals conclude their three-game west coast road trip in Las Vegas, the place they lifted the Stanley Cup.
Washington Capitals fans will always look at T-Mobile Arena with a smile thinking back to June 7, 2018. They come back to that same place looking to end their road trip on a high note Monday night with a chance to make some more history.
By now you already know. Alex Ovechkin is two goals away from the big 700 and he’s hungry for a goal as his drought has stretched to four games without lighting the lamp. He has a chance to do it at the place he lifted the Stanley Cup and boy wouldn’t that be sweet to do it in Sin City. What happens there stays there they say.
The Capitals are coming off a 3-1 loss to the Arizona Coyotes and have dropped three of their last five games. Their two wins came against the Los Angles Kings, who aren’t that good and a Colorado Avalanche team that had an early 2-0 lead on them.
The Capitals won the earlier meeting with Vegas but have yet to win a regular season game inside T-Mobile Arena. It’s okay though, they can win there when it matters most.
