The Capitals are coming back after taking care of the other high powered Eastern Conference team rather easily in the Bruins. Look for that to continue as the Ducks have been improving on defense, but have not reached the pinnacle that the offense needs to be sitting for them to continue to win the games against other good teams. Final Score, Washington Capitals win 5-2.
