After a week that saw the Capitals play four games, including one against the Columbus Blue Jackets, things do not get any easier this week. Washington will play four games from Monday-Sunday, with three coming against conference foes.
The week gets started right away on Monday when the Capitals stay north of the border to take on the Montreal Canadiens. They were in Canada over the past weekend while taking on the Ottawa Senators.
Monday will mark the first meeting of the year between Montreal and Washington. The Canadiens currently sit atop the Atlantic division and have won four of their last five games.
