KEY GAME INFORMATION
WASHINGTON: LAST SEASON: 45-26-11, 101 points. Second in Metropolitan Division. Lost to New York Rangers in Eastern Conference semifinals.
COACH: Barry Trotz (second season, 17th NHL season).
ADDED: F T.J. Oshie, F Justin Williams.
LOST: D Mike Green, F Troy Brouwer, F Joel Ward, F Eric Fehr, F Curtis Glencross, D Tim Gleason.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Alex Ovechkin. When it comes to the Capitals, it's always about the three-time NHL MVP and man of many nicknames - "Alexander the Great," "The Great 8," "Ovi." He just turned 30, and while he jokes about how he isn't keeping count, at some point there will arrive a time when his aggressive style of hit-and-be-hit play will take a toll. Still, Ovechkin scored 53 goals last season, his sixth season getting to the half-century mark.
OUTLOOK: Not much new here: For a half-dozen years or so, the Capitals have entered the season with high expectations, often lived up to them during the regular season, then flopped in the playoffs. Ovechkin has said it's time to stop talking about potential and start doing something when the games count the most. He's never been past the second round of the playoffs and is 3-6 in Game 7s, so not until spring will everything be evaluated.
NEW JERSEY: LAST SEASON: 32-36-14, 78 points. Failed to make the playoffs for a third straight year.
COACH: John Hynes (first NHL season)
ADDED: C Kyle Palmieri, C Pavel Zacha, RW Lee Stempniak, C Sergey Kalinin, D John Moore, C Jiri Tlusty.
LOST: General manager Lou Lamoriello, F Steve Bernier, F Scott Gomez, F Michael Ryder.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Adam Henrique: At age 25, Henrique is no longer the young kid. He's become the face of the Devils' franchise and a team leader. He was the team's leading scorer with a paltry 43 points. He's coming off wrist surgery, but says he's fine. Whether that means he's ready to gain All-Star status is another thing.
OUTLOOK: The Devils cleaned out the Lamoriello era and brought in Ray Shero to be the general manager and an unproven Hynes to be the head coach. However, they really didn't do much to their roster, especially in terms of finding a goal scorer or two. Mike Cammalleri's 27 goals were nice last year, but there were too many times that the team depended on goalkeeper Cory Schneider to keep them in games. Hynes said that his new philosophy will lead to more scoring chances, but that remains to be seen. Even he admits it's "a work in progress." But this doesn't have the look and feel of a playoff team. The Devils will likely make it four straight years without a playoff appearance, an unfathomable idea for a franchise that went to the playoffs 16 straight years.
PREVIEW
Capitals-Devils Preview
By JEFF MEZYDLO STATS Senior Writer

With Alex Ovechkin back in tow, the Washington Capitals appear poised to resume their winning ways.

The visiting Capitals can build on their latest victory with a fifth consecutive win over the New Jersey Devils, who should have their No. 1 goaltender available Saturday.

Back from his one-game suspension for missing last weekend's All-Star festivities, Ovechkin scored the tiebreaking goal with 2:40 left in regulation to give Washington (36-9-4) a 3-2 victory over the New York Islanders on Thursday.

''He's a goal scorer,'' said Braden Holtby, who made 24 saves in his first post-All-Star Game appearance. ''That's what we need him to do. He came through in the right time.

"That's the way our team is. Every guy has their role and everyone seems to be doing it. That's Ovi's role."

Ovechkin has three of his team-leading 29 goals in his last four contests for the NHL-leading Capitals, who avoided their first three-game slide by bouncing back from Tuesday's 5-2 defeat to Florida. Bothered by a lower-body injury, Ovechkin sat out the All-Star Game and by league rules was forced to miss one game.

He admitted being rusty in his first action since Jan. 27, but found his form when it counted.

''Practicing is one thing, but when you're playing, it's a totally different thing, a different level," he said. It was a little bit hard, but at the end, I just kept rolling and we did our job.''

The Capitals have done a fine job despite the NHL's top power-play unit going 4 for 24 over the last seven games. They scored twice on five chances in a 5-3 home win over New Jersey (26-20-6) on Oct. 10.

Keith Kinkaid made 22 saves in that contest for the Devils, and had a season-high 37 in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss at Toronto. Kinkaid made his ninth start in place of Cory Schneider, who sat with an undisclosed injury he apparently suffered while stopping 31 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.

Neither Schneider nor Devils coach John Hynes appear concerned with the injury, and the veteran netminder believes he should be ready to return for this matchup. Schneider has posted a 1.71 goals-against average while winning eight of his last 13 starts, but a 3.03 GAA during an 0-2-1 stretch against the Caps.

In pursuit of their first playoff appearance since 2011-12, the Devils blew a late 2-1 lead Thursday but managed to earn at least one point for the sixth time in seven contests.

"I think it was a valuable point to gain," Hynes said. "It was a tough, hard-fought game.

"However, we didn't necessarily play our best. We'll take it and we've got to make sure we're better going into Washington."

With a goal and an assist, veteran defenseman David Schlemko has two and four assists in five games.

Adam Henrique scored the first of his 16 goals this season against Washington but has one in the last nine.

Ovechkin has eight goals and three assists in his last 10 against New Jersey.

Though Holtby yielded three goals on 24 shots to the Devils in October, he's won four straight in the series and has a 1.29 GAA in a 6-1-0 stretch against them.
