Game outlook
Washington is on the road playing Colorado at the Ball Arena stadium on Tuesday, 1/24/2023 @ 9:00pm EST. Colorado -155 was the opening favorite and line hasn't moved.
On Tuesday, January 24, the Washington Capitals take on the Colorado Avalanche in a cross-conference showdown at Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado, with puck drop set for 9:00 PM ET. In their second and final meeting of the season, the Capitals and Avalanche square off. The Colorado Rockies blanked Washington 4-0 in November as a -120 road favorite. In this matchup, both teams are dealing with injury concerns, so let's examine them in more detail.
In Vegas, the Caps were trounced
As a result of Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights, the Washington Capitals are coming off a disappointing weekend. With 1:40 left to play in the second period, TJ Oshie scored his tenth goal of the season. With the man advantage, the Caps shot 0-for-3 and took 22 shots at Vegas' goaltender. A lower-body injury forced Alex Ovechkin to sit out the Golden Knights game, and he is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Colorado. So far this season, Ovechkin has scored 30 goals and provided 22 assists. The Capitals' frontline might be quite shorthanded without TJ Oshie, who will miss the Avalanche game due to personal reasons.
Trying to make it six straight wins for the Avalanche
It was a shootout that separated the Colorado Avalanche from the Seattle Kraken this past Saturday. During regulation and overtime, Pavel Francouz posted 26 saves and stopped all three shots in a shootout, and Nathan MacKinnon scored the winning goal for the Avs, who closed out a three-game road trip with their fifth consecutive win. Our performance here lately has been pretty stellar. As coach Jared Bednar said, "I was pleased with our team's play tonight.". "It was an evenly matched match.". "It was fitting that it came down to a shootout."
