The Washington Capitals are gearing up for a rigorous schedule as they return from the NHL’s holiday break. Center Dylan Strome expressed the team’s dissatisfaction after a significant 7-3 defeat to the New York Rangers. This loss has left a lingering impact as the Capitals managed only one victory in their last seven games, recording a 1-4-2 record during that span.
Upcoming Challenges for the Capitals
As they prepare for their next match, the Capitals will face the New Jersey Devils at the Prudential Center. This game marks the beginning of an intensive period, with 22 games scheduled over the next 41 days. This demanding stretch comes before the NHL breaks for the Milan-Cortina Olympics in early February.

- Recent Performance: 1 win in the last 7 games (1-4-2)

With the limited rest time, the Capitals will need to regroup quickly to improve their standing in the league. The players and coaching staff will focus on making necessary adjustments to face this challenging schedule head-on.
