Big Three Game Trip

It’s hard to say that the next three games are the most important games of the season but starting with tonight’s game in Atlanta the Caps have an opportunity to begin separating themselves from their Divisional foes. The Caps come into the game back in second place in the Division and tenth place in the Conference after Carolina’s victory over Boston last night. These games are as close to must win games as you can come. While the Caps certainly will not be out of the race if they lose all three games, they will make a significant step forward in terms of cementing their chance for winning the division.

The Caps are 2-2-1 against Atlanta this year and most recently fell 2-0 to the Thrashers in early February. Kari Lehtonen stopped all 36 shots he faced in that contest. I’m looking forward to seeing as mush as the game as I can tonight.
