Top 3 Capitals home games to get excited for in 2022-23

#2 Jan. 26 vs. Pittsburgh Penguins

This will be the second home matchup with Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins after they meet on Nov. 9. It’ll be at this point in time in January where we’ll get a little bit of a read on the direction that both teams are heading.

This game also occurs when the Caps are back from their three game western road trip. They’ll have two more road games after that to close out the month of January.

The Caps split both of their home games against the Penguins. They won the first matchup 6-1 on Hockey Fights Cancer night. It was a memorable game and there’s nothing like watching the Caps beat Pittsburgh in person.

In that game Martin Fehervary scored shorthanded and Garnet Hathaway added another. Then Daniel Sprong and Conor Sheary lit up the scoreboard in the second period. Evgeny Kuznetsov and Tom Wilson on the power play put the finishing touches on a dominating performance.

The Caps dropped the second matchup 4-2 in December. Evgeny Kuznetsov and Lars Eller provided the goals for the Caps.

What’s interesting coming into this season is that both Crosby and Ovechkin have grey hair now. Makes us all feel old.
