The Winnipeg Jets begin a five-game road trip with a tough matchup against the Washington Capitals on Wednesday at the Capital One Arena.
On Wednesday night, the Jets will remain without the reigning NHL MVP, Connor Hellebuyck, and head out after dropping six of their last nine games. In their last outing against the Minnesota Wild, Scott Arniel's side couldn't even muster a goal, going down 3-0 on home ice.
In D.C., Winnipeg will try to avoid matching a season-worst three-game losing streak. This will be a tough task, as Mark Scheifele and his crew face off against a hot opponent.
After suffering some injury blows, the Capitals had a tough time at the beginning of the month, but they are on a roll now. Monday's dominant 5-1 triumph over the Columbus Blue Jackets gave Washington its fourth victory in five games.
Alex Ovechkin has been back to his best lately, and if he's in top form, teams always find it difficult against Washington. The Capitals captain has tallied 14 points (eight goals, six assists) across the last 11 games. And Ovechkin isn't even the hottest player on the Capitals right now, as defenseman Jakob Chychrun is riding a league-best eight-game point streak.

They have several in-form players and are likely brimming with confidence right now, with their recent results including victories of 5-1, 8-4, and 7-4. Each time, Washington has reached three goals first in the contest.
