Top 3 must-see Capitals hockey games in 2022

The Washington Capitals are just less than two months away from the regular season. There’s several great games to watch this year. Today we’ll take a look at the top 3 games to watch.

These games include epic rivalries, playoff rematches and a game outside against an opponent who thinks the Caps are their biggest rivals.

#3 Nov. 9 vs. Pittsburgh Penguins

On Nov. 9 at 7:30 p.m. the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins along with Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby will renew their rivalry. And honestly let me put my fandom aside and say something completely unbiased:

Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby are gifted athletes. They both brought joy to their respective cities and when they both retire that rivalry will get boring very quickly. So enjoy this matchup while it lasts.

The Penguins made a couple of moves this offseason to try and improve their team. Like the Caps, their championship window is closing too so they would like nothing more than to get their guys one more Cup even though it seems like they already won enough.

The Penguins re-signed Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin. It was important they did those two moves especially getting a deal done with Malkin. They also re-signed Bryan Rust and Rickard Rakell as well as Kasperi Kapanen and trading for Jeff Petry and John Marino.
