The Capitals enter Wednesday night's game coming off of an overtime lost the Anaheim Ducks 3-2 last night. The extra time loss was their fifth of the season which is tied for the most overtime/shootout losses in the NHL this season.

Phillip Danault, who has recorded eight points (2-6=8) in the last nine games for the Kings and leads the team in Face-off Win Percentage (57.7%)
Alex Ovechkin, who leads the capitals in goals (12), assists (14) and points (26). Ovechkin's 12 goals this season gives him 742 in his career, fourth all-time in the NHL trailing just Wayne Gretzky (894), Gordie Howe (801) and Jaromir Jagr (766).
