Game Preview

A two-game winning streak has the Washington Capitals back in the playoff mix as they head to the finale of a five-game road trip against the host Calgary Flames on Monday.

After opening their trip with a pair of losses by a combined 10-2 score, the Capitals have claimed consecutive 2-1 victories, including Saturday’s over the Western Conference-leading Vancouver Canucks, and are within striking distance of the Detroit Red Wings, who hold the Eastern Conference’s second wild-card spot.

“These games, they’re meaningful hockey, playoff-type hockey for us,” said forward Tom Wilson, whose second-period goal sparked the comeback victory.
