The Washington Capitals carry a three-game winning streak (and wins in four of their last five games) into Buffalo against the Sabres tonight.
The Sabres, on the other hand, are trending in the opposite direction with one win in their last four tries. They do have one advantage: while Washington fought back for an OT win last night, the Sabres have been resting since Saturday.
These two teams boast some impressive firepower, with Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom and Evgeny Kuznetsov powering the Capitals against Jack Eichel, Ryan O’Reilly, and Evander Kane of the Sabres.
