The Washington Capitals are 1/6th of their way into the preseason and there are five games left entering tonight’s contest against the New Jersey Devils. After a shootout loss to the Boston Bruins that included a few highlights, we’re here with the top 3 games you need to watch for the remainder of the preseason.

Overall, the preseason is a time to welcome hockey back into our lives, get a glimpse of the veterans as well as get our first look at the prospects who will be on the team in the future. Here are the top 3 games to watch.

#3 Oct. 6 at Boston Bruins

I will warn you, this game isn’t televised on NBC Sports Washington but it is going to be on NHL Network. Hopefully from a local standpoint the game doesn’t get blacked out. I didn’t include the road contest on Oct. 4 against the New Jersey Devils because that game won’t be televised for some odd reason.

This game not only marks the rematch of the preseason opener but a rematch from last year’s first round series. Although the divisions are back to normal that won’t deter the Caps and Bruins rivalry. This game is the second to last preseason game.
