The Washington Capitals expect to face a disgruntled group of Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday night at Capital One Arena.
The Oilers, who fell in the Stanley Cup finals each of the past two years, are off to a slow start this season. They lost, 5-1, to the Buffalo Sabres on Monday before traveling to Washington. Getting blown out by the Sabres, who haven’t made the playoffs since 2011, can be particularly difficult to swallow as losses go.
