The Kings have one more loss on the road then Washington has at home. L.A.'s success on the road could help in the playoffs like it did on Monday Philadelphia. After the Flyers rallied from a two-goal third-period deficit, but the Kings stayed resilient to get the game-winner 2:18 after the Flyers tied it, according to NHL.com.

"We've done some good things on the road," Richards said. "It's good to see it with playoffs, which we're leading up to. We have to continue to build our game. I thought we've been doing that. We had a little bit of a lull at home, but the difference in the margin from winning to losing is one mistake right now. It's good to see us get that bounce [Monday] and get the win."

The Capitals earned five of six points on their three-game swing through California last week. Of the six non-shootout goals they scored in going 2-0-1, four came at even-strength but none were scored by a top-six forward; Joel Ward scored two and Eric Fehr and Chris Brown each had one, according to NHL.com.

"I think something that the first two lines need to do is look at our third line," top-line center Nicklas Backstrom told the Washington Post, referencing the combination of Jason Chimera, Fehr and Ward.  "They're cycling the puck, and off that they create chances. I think our first lines haven't been doing that, not the whole year. That's something we need to do. We've been talking about it but we need a better effort from the top guys for sure."

Coach Oates is not concerned with who is scoring the goals or when they go in.

"Our goals-against is down, our zone time ... we played much better as a team, which means that those two lines are contributing to that factor," Oates told the newspaper. "I don't really measure the production. ... You want everybody to play well so the team can play well."
