Arizona is trying to surprise the hockey community in attempting to make the playoffs, where they haven't played in a long time. Since the start of the regular season, the Coyotes have started to show good results, and with each new stretch, they looked better and better, reaching their peak form at the end of November. In their last four games, Andre Tourigny's wards beat Vegas 2:0, Tampa Bay 3:1, Colorado 4:3, and St. Louis 4:1 the night before. Four wins in a row against such professional opponents is a testament to their form, which has seen them get to seventh place in the Western Conference standings.

On the other hand, Washington has been a regular in the Cup for the past few years, but they missed the playoffs last season and are now in danger of missing the top 8 again. The Capital has an aged squad, which makes them unstable. Despite this, Spencer Carbery's team has been trying to get points in the current regular season, and in mid-November, they were on a five-game winning streak. Since then, however, they have lost three of their last five matches and have dropped to seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Arizona has been on a roll lately, winning four games in a row, but the Coyotes have only beaten very high-level opponents who may not have prepared for the game. The situation is different for Washington, as the Capitals don't have enough points, and a battle with one of the league's yearly underdogs is an excellent opportunity to pick up some pucks. 

In the five previous meetings, the opponents have scored just 17 goals (averaging 3.40 per game), which is very low by the NHL. The two teams have not been treated to many games in the regular season.
