    Keys to the Game:

    1. Consistency

    Capitals News:

     

    Keys to the Game:

    1. Get special teams on track

    The Capitals need to start getting their special teams back on track, especially the penalty kill. It has been the biggest weakness thus far as their penalty kill has given up too many goals and ranks 27th overall in the League.

     

    2. Smart defense

    The Capitals need to play smart defensively against the Penguins, and contain the Penguins speed and skill. The Capitals also need to make better plays to break out of their zone as well too.
