Treading water, that's Edmonton, with inconsistencies on defense and in goal a recurring issue. The Oilers have only won four times on its 13 road games thus far, the latest setbacks when allowing five goals to both the Blue Jackets and Sabres in recent losses. Buffalo, on Monday night, was an especially poor effort, with Stuart Skinner ineffective in goal. Skinner gets another chance tonight, but his .887 saves aren't stellar, and he lost his only start vs. the Caps last season, stopping only 11 of the 14 shots he faced. Meanwhile, Washington hopes Monday's 2-1 win over the Kings sparks a turnaround, and GK Logan Thompson has been posting solid numbers, including a 1.85 GAA and .925 saves this season. Play Caps on ML
