The Washington Capitals aim to end a three-game skid as they host the Calgary Flames at Capital One Arena on Monday night.
The Capitals have been inconsistent all season, and their latest slump may mark the end of their playoff hopes. Spencer Carbery’s team will enter the new week of action six points away from the last wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.
Only recently, things looked a lot more positive for the Capitals, when they were enjoying a 6-1-0 run. Since then, the team has struggled to score goals, resulting in Washington’s second three-game losing streak of the calendar year.
The Flames have also struggled lately, but they will have a chance to start building a winning streak on Monday night. Ryan Huska’s men shocked Eastern Conference leaders, the Carolina Hurricanes, with a 5-4 victory on Saturday.
Offensively, Calgary has been the weakest squad in the NHL this season, averaging only 2.47 goals per game. Yet the team found its groove in front of the net on Saturday, with the second line playing a pivotal role in the contest. Morgan Frost, Joel Farabee, and Blake Coleman combined for eight points. Fresh addition Ryan Strome also impressed with a goal and an assist.
