The Washington Capitals, and their young stars have won their past 6 games with authority. The win streak started 2 weeks ago against the Calgary Flames. The caps won against the Flames 7-2, with a 6 goal offensive outburst in the second period. Later in the week, The Caps played lazily late in the game, but still managed to come out on top against Toronto in a shootout 5-4. The caps kept the streak alive against Boston, in a hard fought close game that the Caps triumphed in, 5 to 3. Next game, the Caps improved their overtime record to 5 and 0, beating Philadelphia by a score of 3-2. Then, the Caps ventured to Madison Square Garden, where they outplayed, and beat the New York Rangers. Just recently, the Caps topped a division rival, the Tampa Bay Lightning in a lead-turning game by a score of 6 to 3. In the caps 6 game stretch, Alexander Ovechkin, Alexander Semin, and Nicklas Backstrom have been tremendous, with 38 combined points in the past 6 games. The Caps play the Sabres tomorrow night, and they look to make it 7 in a row.
