The wagon that has been the Washington Capitals returns home on Tuesday night for an interconference matchup against the San Jose Sharks.
Through the first two months of the 2024-2025 NHL season, few teams have played better hockey than the Washington Capitals (17-6-1). They’ve been especially good as of late – the Caps carry a league-best four game winning streak into Tuesday, when they’ll be at home hosting the San Jose Sharks (9-13-5) in an interconference matchup at Capital One Arena. This is a brief stop back at home for Washington – the Capitals were on the road on Saturday and head back on the road this weekend. In total, the team is in the middle of a stretch of playing six of eight games on the road.

Still, playing on the road hasn’t been a problem for the Capitals. They’ve won three of their last four games, scoring at least four goals in each. Their most recent game was on Saturday – a 6-5 win at the New Jersey Devils. Defenseman John Carlson didn’t score himself in that one but kept the puck moving and recorded three assists. Carlson’s 16 assists on the season are second on the team only to center Dylan Strome, who has 26. Strome also leads the team with 34 points in 24 games.
San Jose has also been playing well as of late. The Sharks have won three of their last four, including sweeping a home-and-home back-to-back against the Seattle Kraken on Friday and Saturday. Like the Capitals the Sharks have been on a scoring tear – they’ve scored 22 total goals in their last eight games.
