ESPN NHL Score Washington Capitals vs Los Angeles Kings
Anze Kopitar and the Los Angeles Kings take on Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals in the Capital One Arena tonight. The Kings will be eager for a big win tonight as the Capitals look to catch up to the Islanders in the Metropolitan division.
Los Angeles Kings
This year’s Los Angeles team has had a below average season and are hungry for a big win. Inconsistency has been the ongoing trend for the kings as they approach tonight’s game against a very solid Washington squad. The team is 3-2 in their last five with wins over the Flyers, Rangers and the Devils. Along with the three wins they picked up, they also suffered tough losses to the Islanders and Bruins. The Washington Capitals are known for their strong presence on the offensive side of the ice with veteran leader Alex Ovechkin. Washington’s offense will pose a threat to the Kings as their main weakness this season has been their defense and goalies. Both Jonathan Quick (11-13-4) and Jack Campbell (7-9) hold losing records as goalies approaching tonight’s matchup.
Washington Capitals
The Washington Capitals are currently ranked second in the metropolitan division with a 30-18-7 record. The team has had a very successful season thus far with veteran leadership from superstar winger Alex Ovechkin. Ovechkin leads the NHL in goals this season with a whopping 37 in 54 games played. Along with Ovechkin’s tremendous support on the offensive side, the Washington defense has contributed their fair share with key players such as John Carlson. Both Washington goalies Braden Holtby and Pheonix Copley hold winning records this season in front of the goal contributing to the Capitals success this season.
