The Dallas Stars are set to face off against the Washington Capitals on Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. ET in a highly anticipated NHL regular-season matchup. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN, providing fans the opportunity to witness Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin as he chases his 900th career goal. Currently, Ovechkin sits at 899 goals and is looking to reach this significant milestone during the game at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
For fans unable to watch on television, the game will also be available for streaming on various services including DIRECTV (which offers a free trial), fuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, and Sling.
In preparation for this matchup, it’s worth noting the Capitals’ recent struggle, having just faced a tough loss to the Ottawa Senators in Ovechkin’s 1,500th game. The Capitals were dominated in that encounter, falling 7-1, with Ovechkin missing the opportunity to reach the 900-goal mark as he was stymied by the Senators’ goalie, Linus Ullmark. This game marked a significant challenge for the Capitals, as frustrations escalated leading to a penalty after a failed challenge on a goal.
Despite the recent setback, the Capitals are eager to bounce back against a competitive Stars team. As both teams prepare for what promises to be an exciting game, fans will be looking for Ovechkin to make history and for the Capitals to improve their performance on the ice. With the stakes high and emotions running strong, this matchup is one to watch.
