Can the squad make it four wins in a row with three returning players?
One final game at home commences tonight before the Colorado Avalanche embark on a road-heavy schedule for the rest of the calendar year. This contest will be the 12th game at Ball Arena thus far in the 2024-25 season and the Avalanche have used home ice to their advantage to stay afloat in the standings while they waited for reinforcements to arrive.
The Washington Capitals for their part have enjoyed a strong start to their season as they sit in third place in the Metropolitan Division but have lost three of their last five and hope to start their road trip on the right foot with a win.
