Both of these teams are in similar spots in the eastern Conference standings. The New York Rangers are sitting in the seventh spot, but are close to the Capitals. Washington is in the five spot, just a few points ahead of the Rangers and still within striking distance of the top spot. Both teams are jockeying for position as the All-Star break creeps on the NHL season, signifying the halfway point.

Alex Ovechkin is the leader of the Capitals and the offensive superstar of this team. Washington is trying to focus on defense as evident in the 2-1 win against the New York Islanders. If they can play defense as well as they play offense, the Capitals could be one of the best teams in the league.

The Rangers have some recent trends going against them for this game. The Rangers are 2-5 in their last seven games as a road underdog, 1-4 in their last five against the Southeast, and 1-4 in their last five games against the Eastern Conference.

The Capitals have a day to prepare for this game, which has been a good thing in the past. The Capitals are 38-18 in their last 56 games playing with just one day rest, and will take advantage of a road weary Rangers team.
