Capitals outlook
Washington maintains a strong roster capable of reclaiming a playoff spot provided they improve their performance on the road.
Blue line depth
The team possesses enough defensive depth to remain competitive while waiting for injured players to return to the lineup.
Goalie situation
Competition for the backup goaltender position creates a potential roster dilemma regarding waivers and team merit-based standards.
Ovechkin and trends
Ovechkin's scoring trajectory makes a thousand career goals unlikely, while the team's depth suggests they could challenge for the second spot in the division.
