Kings Seek First Win Against Capitals in NHL Matchup

The Los Angeles Kings, currently the only winless team in the NHL, are set to play against the Washington Capitals at Capital One Arena. This matchup is scheduled for 7 PM ET, with the Capitals favored at -155 according to DraftKings Sportsbook.

The Kings have struggled this season, holding a record of 0-4-2, and have not yet tied their franchise record for the worst start. Their goaltending has been a significant issue, with a combined goals-against average of 4.17. The team is also dealing with injuries to key players, including Kevin Fiala and Mats Zuccarello, although Zuccarello may return for this game.

On the other hand, the Capitals are entering this game on a two-game winning streak, with Alex Ovechkin aiming to add to his career totals. Ovechkin has had a slow start this season but remains a key player for Washington. The Capitals swept the Kings in their previous season series.
