The Monday night NHL schedule will bring a couple of inter-conference games, it being worth noting that the Los Angeles Kings at Washington Capitals highlights as the most anticipated due to the great momentum that the Kings have recently built. With this goal in mind, the Washington Capitals are expected to turn into one of the outsiders of the week, because securing a victory in this game is necessary to keep competing for playoff spots.
Nevertheless, a victory would also be relevant for the Kings, because even though they were able to win their last four games, their advantage over the virtually qualified teams for the playoffs is tiny. Furthermore, it must be noted that the Kings have played one more game than the Anaheim Ducks, Winnipeg Jets, and Vegas Golden Knights, teams that are contenders to battle for the Western Conference championship at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, the Washington Capitals have maintained their ironic duality, as they currently sit in fourteenth place despite being the best defense in the Eastern Conference with 48 goals conceded. With this fact in mind, the Capitals aren’t really expected to turn into a competitive team unless they get some offensive reinforcements during any available transfer window.
