Washington Capitals Look For Consistency On a West Coast Road Trip

The Washington Capitals will look for a west coast road trip to try and straighten things out for a hockey team that is struggling. The first stop on the trip is in Phoenix, where the Capitals will face off against the Coyotes.

The Caps are headed out West on a five-game trip that could have a big impact on their season. The question is can the Caps find any kind consistency -- something that's eluded them much of this season -- while on the road.

The team held a players-only meeting after yet another flat effort in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Kings in Washington. Despite the consistent play of Alex Ovechkin, the Caps can’t seem to put it together.

The most frustrating aspect of the number of lifeless and lethargic efforts the Caps have turned in is the fact that they have so much talent on the roster. There's no doubt that the Caps are one of the top five teams in the NHL in terms of pure talent.

The Caps start the trip with three games against Western Conference teams, and they've dropped six straight to those clubs. Despite all of the problems, the Caps not only are in the playoff hunt, but just five points out in the Southeast Division. Turning things around the Coyotes does not seem likely.

The Capitals are 18-37 in their last 55 games following a loss of 3 or more goals, 4-10 in their last 14 road games against a team with a losing home record, and 0-6 in the last six games against the Western Conference.

Phoenix is 4-0 in its last four games overall and playing consistent hockey and that will make the difference as they beat Washington.
