No team in the NHL is currently in better form than the Washington Capitals. The Caps come into this clash after winning each of their last five, and they sit second in the Metropolitan Division.
On Wednesday, they could move to the top of the division standings. The Caps were professional in their latest outing, as they recorded a 3-1 win at the LA Kings.
Despite that win, many of their issues this term have come on the road, going 6-4-1.
| TOTAL | Capitals | Sharks | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WINS | 53 | 20 | 32 | - |
| GOALS | 310 | 147 | 163 |
The Capitals will have a quick turnaround for this clash on Wednesday, and that could play into the hands of the Sharks.
San Jose have an impressive strike-rate in their home games against Washington, and their confidence levels should be high following a recent win over the Mammoth.
