During the 2018 NHL All-Star Weekend, the Capitals' Alex Ovechkin raved about what it's like playing in Las Vegas. Washington had already made one trip to Sin City to take on the expansion Golden Knights three weeks prior toJanuary's All-Star Game (Vegas shutout Ovechkin's Capitals 3-0). But what madeOvechkinleavein awe following his first visit to T-Mobile Arena ." Al Kaline Jersey It's like you in a nightclub," Ovechkin said."It's like a party. Everybody dancing over there. It's like, 'Holy Jesus, are we in a hockey game or is this like a pool party out there?' They're very, very tough to play against. They jump in right away. They have tremendous skill and tremendous speed. When you're not ready, you're going to be in a tough position."Now, the Capitals are four wins away from their first Stanley Cup in the franchise's history, and are again traveling to Vegas, with the Golden Knights the final hurdle to clear before Ovechkin can lift his first Stanley Cup.But don't expect the Capitals captain to enjoy much of the city he had such high marks for, at least off Spencer Turnbull Jersey the ice."Were going there to play hockey, not to pool party and play in casino," Ovechkin after the team's final practice before heading to Vegas."Were going there to play hockey and do our thing and then were going to have all the summer and whatever we want to do, we can do it."A hug over a decade in the making Washington Capitals (@Capitals) But winning in Vegas and at T-Mobile arena has proved to be a difficult task for visiting teams. The Golden Knights are 6-1 Jordy Mercer Jersey when playing at home during their 2018 playoff run, the only lo s coming being in double overtime againstthe San Jose Sharks in the conference semifinals. Vegas' 29 home victories in its inaugural season were also tied for third-most in the NHL as teams battled what was colloquially known as the "Vegas flu."MORE:The Golden Knights have been especially stingy on their home-ice, allowing 12 goals over their seven home games behind the stellar play of goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury.Since Fleury made his NHL debut in 2006, the former Jeimer Candelario Jersey Penguins goaltender is 30-16-4 against the Capitals acro s the regular season and playoffs, and also twice eliminated Washington from the postseason.But for as strong the Golden Knights are at home in 2018, the Capitals have an equally as impre sive road resume. The Capitals are 8-2in visiting arenas in this postseason, including winningGames 1 and 2 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena.GOLDEN STANDARD: That also came in handy in the first round, when the Capitals dropped the first two games of their series against the lower-seeded Blue Jackets before winning the next four games, Matthew Boyd Jersey three of which were on the road.As the lower seed in the Cup Final, the Capitals will have to do something they've never done in franchise history to win this series: Go into T-Mobile Arena and come out victorious.
