Minnesota Wild vs Washington Capitals
The Washington Capitals have something positive to build upon when they open a five-game homestand against the Minnesota Wild on Friday.
Before their victory, the Capitals had not opened the scoring in any of their five previous games. Nor had they held a lead, with the previous victory claimed by erasing a two-goal deficit and prevailing in a shootout. The Wild arrive in Washington on the heels of a 6-2 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday in the opener of a three-game road swing. Minnesota trailed 3-0 going into the third period, scored a pair of early goals to make it a one-goal game but had no answer when the Flyers pulled away.
Minnesota has one win in its past four outings, during which it has surrendered 22 goals. Both Wild goaltenders are struggling to keep pucks out of the net. Filip Gustavsson has a 4.36 goals-against average and an .885 save percentage in five games, while Marc-Andre Fleury -- who is most likely to play in Washington -- has a 3.55 GAA and an .868 save percentage.
