Arizona at Washington

The Washington Capitals owned the beginning of the season as they raced out to a 7-0 start, outscoring their opponents by a 30-14 count. What has happened since hasn't been pretty as the once unbeatable team has been 3-8 over their last 11 games, and has been outscored 42-28 in the process. The last three contests they have managed but a single goal in each. The road steady Coyotes are 6-2-1 on the road and have travelled well, and are 6-1 in their last seven, including 3-1 on their current road swing, and are now 20-9 in their last 29 after allowing 2 goals or fewer in their previous game. The Capitals are struggling, and it won't help that they are now 13-32 in their last 45 vs. the Pacific and the Coyotes are a 5-2 part of that. There is an upset brewing in the nation's capital, so play on Phoenix in this one.
