As the Washington Capitals prepare to face off against the Dallas Stars at the American Airlines Center, fans can anticipate an intense matchup. The Capitals have shown resilience in their recent games, displaying both strengths and areas for improvement that could influence their performance in this upcoming game.

In their last three games, the Capitals have secured two wins and one overtime loss. Their most recent match against Tampa Bay Lightning ended in a shootout defeat, where they managed to score once during regulation time but struggled in faceoffs with a win percentage of just 37 percent. Despite this, they showcased a solid defense with 17 blocked shots and an impressive goaltending save percentage of 95 percent.

The game prior saw the Capitals triumph over Columbus Blue Jackets with a final score of 3-2. They demonstrated offensive prowess on powerplays by scoring twice out of three opportunities and maintained a higher faceoff win percentage at 54 percent.

The venue for the upcoming game may play a significant role as home ice advantage has been known to influence outcomes; however, Washington's recent road victory against Columbus suggests that they are capable of overcoming this challenge.
