It’s been a busy week for the Washington Capitals, who have rediscovered their offense with Alex Ovechkin still on the shelf. And after two comeback wins, they’re looking for another victory in New Jersey against the Devils. Here’s everything to know before puck drop at 7 p.m. ET at Prudential Center.

They did it again, these Washington Capitals, who ideally would like to lead from start to finish every once in a while but are proving they have no issue doing things the hard way — or even the really hard way.

WASHINGTON -- Jakob Chychrun scored at 1:20 of overtime, and the Washington Capitals rallied for a 5-4 win against the New York Islanders at Capital One Arena on Friday. Chychrun entered the zone and put a wrist shot past Semyon Varlamov from the top of the slot to win it for Washington, which trailed 4-2 entering the third period.
