NHL games today on TV, March 25, 2023: Which games will be televised today?

There are 15 matchups scheduled for March 25, as 30 teams from the NHL will take on the ice for crucial points in the hope of finishing their season on a high.

The season has been filled with ups and downs, and we can see more drama as the league stage draws to an end. With the playoff race still wide open in all divisions, we can see some fiery contests during this period. Let's look at the most-awaited games of the day.

Washington Capitals vs. Pittsburgh Penguins ( 8:00 p.m. ET)

Pittsburgh Penguins v Washington Capitals

The Washington Capitals have not played well this season and are sixth in the Eastern Conference Metropolitan Division with 76 points.

They have done decently well on the offense and scored 231 goals in 74 games, with Alex Ovechkin contributing 41 goals. The Capitals defense has been inconsistent this season and averages three goals per game. Goaltender Darcy Kuemper has done well, averaging 2.74 goals per game with a save percentage of 0.912.

In comparison, the Pittsburgh Penguins are fifth in the Metropolitan Division with 80 points. The Penguins offense has done well this season, scoring 230 goals in 72 games. Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel have contributed 31 goals each. In comparison, their defense has performed below par and conceded more than three goals per game this season.

What to expect from the Capitals vs. Penguins NHL game?

This is probably the most-awaited NHL game of the day, as both teams are fighting for a playoff spot from the same division four points apart.

The Capitals are seven points behind the elusive playoff spot and must win the rest of their games to have any chance of qualification. The challenge for them will be their inconsistent display lately, as they have lost three of their last five games.

On the other hand, the Penguins are three points behind the playoff spot and will not want to lose anymore. They come into the contest with a loss and will be under much pressure to perform in this contest. But the positive thing for them is that they will play on home ice, where they have done well. We can expect this contest to stay cagey.
