The Washington Capitals have been playing catch-up in the Eastern Conference playoff race since their six-game losing streak in February.

That effort will continue Friday when they host the St. Louis Blues.

The Capitals rallied for 5-4 shootout victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday to improve to 4-2-1 in their last seven games. Washington overcame 3-1 and 4-2 deficits to force the overtime and shootout.
