Capitals: Top 3 ways to fix the team for 2020

The Washington Capitals are 41-20-8. On the surface, that’s pretty good. Since the turn of the new year, however, they’ve been inconsistent.

90 points is good for any team and some teams would love to be where the Washington Capitals stand right now. With 13 games left in the season, there’s no telling if the Caps would’ve been able to maintain their lead in the Metropolitan Division or if the Philadelphia Flyers would catch them.

And the Flyers were hot. They beat the Capitals on their own home ice twice before the season hit a pause. Just one point separates the two teams in the standings.

The Caps last win was a huge one over the Pittsburgh Penguins in what many experts thought was their most complete game of the season. With all that momentum you’d think they’d carry it into Buffalo. That wasn’t the case however as the Caps came up short in a shootout despite coming back from a 2-0 deficit.

The Caps have been inconsistent since the calendar flipped to 2020. They’re 15-14-3 dating back to Dec. 23rd and have only won back-to-back games once since the end of January.

Let’s take a look at the top 3 ways we can fix the Caps.
