Ducks (2): "The Ducks are close to pushing the Capitals for the top spot. Anaheim is 18-1-1 in its past 20 games and has established a franchise record with 11th straight victories. The Ducks host the Capitals on Monday night in Anaheim, which is must-see TV."    

Record: 37-19-8 (1st in Pacific Division).

Capitals (1): "The Capitals are the first team this season to reach 100 points, with a 2-1 OT win over the Bruins on Saturday, and the first to hit the century mark in its first 65 games of the season since the Red Wings in 2001-02."

Record: 48-13-4 (1st in Metropolitan Division).
