The Capitals got their twelfth straight win last night against the New York Rangers and they are now going home after two games on the road. The hunt for a thirteenth straight win starts tonight at 7:00 PM and there are NHL live streams on gamecenter.nhl.com or espn360.com.

 

The Capitals are on fire right now, but it seemed like the Rangers could have stopped their fantastic sequence last night. The Capitals turned the game around and won with 6-5 despite a Rangers lead throughout the entire game. Ovechkin, Semin, Backstrom and the rest of the guys are continuing putting up points and the Capitals already look like a team for the Stanley Cup.

The Capitals have won all three games so far against the Atlanta Thrashers and all the games have been on the road. They are now going to play at home and there are the Capitals very dangerous. The Thrashers are going to miss the recently traded star Ilya Kovalchuk and without him offensively don’t they have many players that can score. Afinogenov, Antropov and Kozlov may be a first line and together have they only scored eight goals more than Ilya KOvalchuk has scored on his own this season.

I think that the Capitals are going to extend their success; despite they are going back to back after the game against the Rangers last night. The self confidence must me great, the players have fun at work and the scores keep coming. The Capitals should win fairly easy against the Thrashers without their top player. But streaks are made to be broken so I wouldn’t count on the Capitals to 100 % in this game. Moneyline is a good option, or bet also on a draw. You can watch the game online on NHL live stream, which is shown on espn360.com and gamecenter.nhl.com
