The Capitals are in stop-the-pain mode losers of three in a row. Washington hasn't dropped four straight all season.

Despite this, the Capitals have gotten off 22 more shots on goals than their last three opponents. Washington has won 11 of the past 15 times versus foes with a winning record.

The Capitals will have star goalie Braden Holtby back in net after he was rested on Saturday. The Ducks traditionally have problems versus the Capitals losing the past six times they've hosted them.

Washington is superior to Anaheim and is overdue to win. It comes here.
