Washington Capitals vs Dallas Stars: NHL Live Stream, Schedule, Probable Lineups, Injury Report, Form Guide, Head to Head, December 15, 2022

The Washington Capitals will welcome the Dallas Stars to Capital One Arena for an NHL game on Thursday. The Capitals won 3-7 against the Blackhawks in their last game. When it was over, when No. 800 was safely tucked away and Washington’s fifth straight win was complete, Alex Ovechkin jumped on the ice one last time for another round of cheers. Gordie Howe is next, and Wayne Gretzky is coming up very quickly.

Ovechkin scored three times to become the third NHL player with 800 career goals, and the streaking Capitals beat the lowly Chicago Blackhawks 7-3 on Tuesday night. “It’s a big number,” Ovechkin said. “It’s the best company (you can) ever imagine since you started playing hockey.” Ovechkin moved within one goal of Howe for second all-time. Gretzky has the record with 894 goals, but the 37-year-old Ovechkin is showing no signs of slowing down.

The Dallas Stars on the other hand won 1-4 against the Devils in their last game.  Roope Hintz scored the go-ahead goal with three seconds left in the second period and backup Scott Wedgewood made 35 saves against his former team as the Dallas Stars beat New Jersey 4-1 on Tuesday night, sending the Devils to their third straight loss. With both teams playing their second game in two nights, Hintz snapped a 1-all tie with his 13th goal off a scrum in the crease in front of Devils netminder Akira Schmid.

Ty Dellandrea, Esa Lindell and Mason Marchment also scored for Dallas, which improved to 10-3-3 in its last 16 games against the Devils. Lindell and Marchment both scored into an empty net. “We did what we had to do in the third, a couple of big blocks,” Stars coach Peter DeBoer said. ”It was a critical turning point to go into the third period with a lead. It was an important two points for us. We did the important work to get the two points against a good team.”
