KEY GAME INFORMATION
WASHINGTON: LAST SEASON: 38-30-14, 90 points. Missed the playoffs by finishing ninth in the Eastern Conference.
COACH: Barry Trotz, 1st season with Capitals; 16th overall in NHL, 557-479-60-100.
ADDED: Trotz, GM Brian MacLellan, D Brooks Orpik, D Matt Niskanen, G Justin Peters.
LOST: Coach Adam Oates, GM George McPhee, C Mikhail Grabovski, LW Dustin Penner, G Jaroslav Halak.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Alex Ovechkin, as always. The three-time league MVP led the NHL with 51 goals last season, but his plus-minus of minus-35 was third-worst in the league. Trotz plans to move Ovechkin back to left wing and also hopes to cajole more of a team game from the Russian forward.
OUTLOOK: It was deflating enough for the talented Capitals to lose in the early rounds of the playoffs every year, but last season they didn't make the postseason at all, a failure that cost Oates and McPhee their jobs. Orpik and Niskanen should stabilize the blue line, but nothing is more crucial in Washington than the relationship between Ovechkin and the coach du jour. Trotz is Ovechkin's first NHL head coach with prior head coaching experience elsewhere in the league, giving him the cachet to make demands of his players - and to expect them to be met.
EDMONTON: LAST SEASON: 29-44-7, 67 points, finished 14th in the Western Conference and missed the playoffs.
COACH: Dallas Eakins, second season with the Oilers, 29-44-7.
ADDED: D Mark Fayne, D Nikita Nikitin, F Benoit Pouliot, F Teddy Purcell.
LOST: D Anton Belov, C Sam Gagner, LW Ryan Smyth.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Justin Schultz: The Oilers signed the defenseman to a one-year, $3,675,000 deal on Aug. 29. Why one year? ''Justin is going to be a great player and a great Oiler. What we wanted to do as an organization is buy ourselves a little bit of time to negotiate a long-term deal,'' general manager Craig MacTavish said. ''We as an organization wanted a little more information, fully aware information can be expensive.''
OUTLOOK: Six straight years of drafting in the top 10 and stockpiling high-end young talent without showing tangible on-ice improvement tends to create skepticism.

*Capitals-Oilers Preview* =========================

Washington (3-0-2) at Edmonton (1-4-1), 9:30 p.m. EDT

There's a good chance Alex Ovechkin will become the Washington Capitals' all-time points leader on this road trip.

Taylor Hall has a long way to go to add his name to the upper part of that list for the Edmonton Oilers, though it's not too hard to foresee that possibility.

These players were top overall picks six years apart and will be the marquee attractions in Wednesday night's matchup in Edmonton.

Ovechkin has 820 points - five behind Peter Bondra on the Capitals' all-time list. He figures to break that mark on this three-game trip for Washington (3-0-2), which is the only Eastern Conference club without a regulation defeat.

The superstar, off to a strong start with five goals and one assist, knows it will be a special moment, though he joked that he won't be able to overcome his 32-4 deficit to Bondra in short-handed goals.

"When I beat his record for power-play goals, he told me you're probably going to beat all my records," said Ovechkin, drafted first overall in 2004. "But I don't think I'm going to beat his short-handed goals."

Hall was the first pick in the 2010 draft and has been the face of the rebuilding Oilers. He moved past Dave Lumley into 20th place on the club's all-time points list with 231, registering a goal and an assist in Monday's 3-2 home win over Tampa Bay.

Edmonton (1-4-1) ended the frustration of a winless five-game start when Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored the tiebreaking goal with 3:25 remaining.

"To be honest, you guys make stories like you will but that game wasn't too, too different from our last five," said Hall, who has four goals and two assists. "Except that when we needed goals they went in and when we needed saves, Scrivvy (goalie Ben Scrivens) was there, and that's what good teams do."

Ovechkin and Hall have opposed each other twice. Hall scored and Ovechkin was held without a point in Edmonton's 2-1 victory Oct. 27, 2011, and the opposite occurred for each player in Washington's 4-2 win Oct. 14, 2013.

The Capitals haven't played since Saturday's 2-1 shootout win over Florida.

Backup Justin Peters started that contest, and coach Barry Trotz has indicated he will turn back to Braden Holtby on Wednesday. Holtby is 3-0-0 with a 1.00 goals-against average in three starts versus Edmonton.

Scrivens will be the likely starter for the Oilers. He is 1-1-0 with a 3.53 GAA in two starts against the Capitals.

Washington has taken four of the last five meetings with Edmonton. The Capitals are looking forward to their first extended trip of the season, with a planned curling outing Thursday.

"I think you get on the road, you know, you try to get points on the road, guys get to come together," Trotz said.

The Capitals will play for the first time without center Brooks Laich, who is on injured reserve with a shoulder injury.
