Game Preview
The Washington Capitals aim to complete a sweep of their three-game road trip as they face the Utah Hockey Club on Monday night in Salt Lake City.
After a tough 4-3 overtime loss to Toronto midweek, the Capitals rebounded impressively, defeating the Colorado Avalanche and Vegas Golden Knights in back-to-back games. Meanwhile, Utah split its first two games of its homestand, including a 4-2 loss to Vegas.
Washington’s recent success has been powered by captain Alex Ovechkin, who notched his 31st career hat trick in Sunday’s 5-2 win against Vegas. Logan Thompson delivered 40 saves in his standout performance against his former team.
"Logan was incredible tonight," said Capitals coach Spencer Carbery. "He battled hard and was the difference in the second half of the game."
The Capitals have emerged as an offensive force this season, scoring four or more goals in 10 of their 17 games and totaling 72 goals to date. Their improved transition play has been a key factor, according to Carbery.
Ovechkin, tied for the NHL lead with 13 goals, is inching closer to Wayne Gretzky’s all-time record of 894 goals, sitting just 29 away. His linemate Dylan Strome is also shining, with 21 assists this season, keeping him on track to surpass his career-high of 42.
Utah enters the game after a narrow loss to Vegas, where a promising 2-0 lead unraveled due to late-game mistakes. Clayton Keller acknowledged the frustration, saying, "We had a great start but a few errors cost us."
Despite the setback, Utah’s Mikhail Sergachev has been a standout, scoring in four consecutive home games and tallying 12 points on the season. The team is 4-3-1 at home and has performed well against Eastern Conference opponents at 4-2-0.
With both teams bringing exciting storylines and standout performers, Monday’s clash promises to be a thrilling conclusion to Washington’s road trip.
