As the Washington Capitals prepare to host the New Jersey Devils at the Capital One Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent trend of success. The Capitals have shown a strong performance in their past few games, and this upcoming match is an opportunity to maintain that momentum.

Analyzing the past data, we've seen some impressive statistics from the Capitals. In their last game against Tampa Bay Lightning, despite a narrow shootout loss (2-1), they demonstrated resilience with a 100 percent save percentage during shorthanded plays and an even strength goal. Their faceoff win percentage was low at 37 percent but they managed to block 17 shots.

In an away victory over Columbus Blue Jackets, the Capitals showcased their powerplay prowess by scoring two out of three goals while having a man advantage and winning 54 percent of faceoffs. Their goaltending remained solid with a perfect save percentage.

Against New York Islanders at home, once again it was powerplay efficiency that stood out as they scored one goal during these opportunities and won half of all faceoffs taken. Goaltending continued to be reliable with another game boasting a 100 percent save rate.

The venue could play a significant role in this matchup; playing on home ice has proven advantageous for Washington recently. The team will look to leverage this edge along with their special teams' performance and goaltending consistency against the Devils.
