Washington
Capitals @ St Louis Blues
When their 14 game winning streak came to an end, Capitals faced another team in a similar situation. They faced the Ottawa Senators who also had a winning streak snapped before that game. Senators and Capitals played a fantastic game and both teams kept scoring goals. Senators had a lead, and then the Capitals did. Senators fought back and won the game 6-5 in the end. Only 52 shots in total by both teams but 11 goals showed how good their offense was.
Capitals have scored 5 or more goals in 5 consecutive games but they lsot the last two because they allowed 6 goals in each of them. They are an excellent team in the offense but their defense is letting them down.They always have to score more goals to win a game. It's not the case with the Blues.
Blues beat the Toronto Maple Leafs last night. It was not familiar with the Blues to shut out a team on home ice. It was only their 11th win in 32 games at home. They will try to keep it up tonight when they face league's best team.

This will be the first game between these clubs since December 18th 2008. It was the Capitals who won 4-2 that time in Washington.
Capitals are 0-5 on road against the Blues in last 5 games and they are also 2-9-1 against the Blues. It is not really important and should be disregarded because those 12 games were played in a 10 year span.
Semin scored three goals against the Ottawa Senators in the last game and Ovechkin as the captain of the Capitals have scored 9 goals and had 10 assists in a 10 game span. He has been amazing.
When we look at injuries, Blues may be without Keith Tkachuk once again as he has an upper body injury. Caps have minor injuries too but they are pretty much healthy.
Capitals will surely want to react to their last two losses and Blues may be tired after last night's game. They will take on the best team in the league and this team is hungry for a win. I am expecting another goals gallery. ( We have seen 31 goals in last three games of the Capitals, that's over 10 goals per game.)
