Winnipeg Jets at Washington Capitals

Washington had a big win on Tuesday over Florida and the Southeast Division did another flip-flop. With the victory, the Capitals went from ninth place to third place in the in the Eastern Conference as they now have a one point lead over the Panthers. That makes this a pivotal game as these follow up games are essentially just as important to keep the momentum going. The victory over Florida improved Washington to 19-7-1 at home, which extended the most home win in the Eastern Conference.

Winnipeg is trying to hang around in the playoff race as it is coming off a home win over Toronto on Tuesday which snapped a two-game losing streak and kept the Jets within five points of Ottawa for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Winning at home has been one thing but doing it on the road has been another as Winnipeg is 9-16-4 on the road and those 20 combined losses are ties for the most in the conference. The Jets are just 10-29 in their last 39 games following a win.

Goal scoring has been the big issue lately for Winnipeg away from home. The Jets have only 60 goals scored on the season but they haven't scored more than two goals in their last eight games away from home, totaling eight overall. That is not a good thing when they have the fifth worst save percentage on the other side at just 89.6 percent. They have allowed 92 goals away from home which is tied for third most in the NHL and facing the Capitals, which are averaging over three gpg at home, is not ideal.

While Winnipeg is five points back in the overall standings, it is just four points back of Washington in the division so the Capitals have to be weary of that situation as well which makes holding home ice even more important. The Capitals have won 10 of the past 11 home games against the Jets franchise including an overtime win this season. Washington is 40-13 in its last 53 home games against teams with a road winning percentage worse than .400. 8* (6) Washington Capitals

Washington Capitals @ New York Rangers Monday April 30, 2012 7:35 pm

Nashville Predators @ Phoenix Coyotes Friday April 27, 2012 7:00 pm
