| NHL | (27) Washington Capitals at (28) Detroit Red Wings | 1:07pm EST - Dec 21/2025 |
The PLAY: Washington Capitals -115
With Saturday's 5-2 victory, the Red Wings snapped the Capitals' six-game home point streak. Now the Capitals get an immediate chance for some payback. Prior to Saturday's loss, the Caps had defeated the Wings in four of the previous five meetings. While he's been in a scoring slump recently, Ovechkin has 14 goals and eight assists (plus 7 rating) in 20 career games at Detroit. Don't be surprised if "The Great 8" gets back on track and leads the revenge-minded visitors to a split of the home-and-home series.
