Game Preview
The Washington Capitals aim to extend their red-hot 10-game road winning streak when they face the Dallas Stars on Monday night in what promises to be a thrilling NHL showdown.
A victory for the Capitals would set up a shot at tying the NHL record of 12 consecutive road wins, a mark currently held by the 2005-06 Detroit Red Wings and the 2014-15 Minnesota Wild, when they visit Chicago on Tuesday. But first, they’ll need to overcome a formidable challenge in Dallas, where the Stars boast an impressive 12-3-0 home record this season.
The Stars are riding momentum from a dramatic 2-1 overtime win against the St. Louis Blues on Saturday, with Matt Duchene providing the game-winner. However, offense has been hard to come by for Dallas, which has scored more than two goals only once in its past six games, going 3-3-0 during that stretch.
Head coach Pete DeBoer remains optimistic. “We’re creating quality chances; they’re just not going in right now. I like how we’re defending, though. That gives us a chance to win games until we regain our shooting confidence,” DeBoer said.
Key players for Dallas include Jason Robertson, who has tallied four points in his last three games, and goaltender Jake Oettinger, who is 11-2-0 at home with a stellar 1.99 goals-against average and .926 save percentage. As the Stars continue their six-game homestand, Robertson emphasized the importance of building momentum: “We want to take the next step and keep it rolling.”
Meanwhile, the Capitals are on fire. Saturday’s 4-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres marked their fourth consecutive win and extended their point streak to nine games (8-0-1), the longest in the NHL this season. Dylan Strome netted the game-winner in the third period, assisted by John Carlson, while Tom Wilson powered the Capitals with two first-period power-play goals despite wearing a protective face shield for a broken sinus bone. Wilson has been a force lately, registering 11 points (seven goals, four assists) in his last 11 games.
The Capitals’ special teams have been a key factor, with 11 power-play goals in their last 10 games and a penalty kill that has stymied opponents. “The power play was huge, and the penalty kill did a great job,” said head coach Spencer Carbery. “We found a way to get it done.”
With both teams looking to keep their streaks alive, this matchup offers plenty of intrigue for bettors. Can the Capitals continue their road dominance, or will the Stars defend their home ice and cool Washington’s scorching form? All eyes will be on American Airlines Center for this must-watch clash.
