FAQ

Capitals vs Kings questions

How often do the Capitals and Kings play each other?

The Washington Capitals and the Los Angeles Kings meet twice a regular season, once in each arena. Every club plays each club in the other conference twice, home and away, so this is the least often the league schedules any pairing — and outside the Stanley Cup Final it is the only way the Capitals and the Kings meet.

Are the Capitals and Kings in the same division?

No, and not the same conference either. The Washington Capitals are an Eastern Conference club in the Metropolitan Division; the Los Angeles Kings are a Western Conference club in the Pacific. That makes every meeting between them an inter-conference game.

What is at stake when the Capitals play the Kings?

A win is worth two points in the standings, and a loss in overtime or a shootout still earns one — so a game that goes past regulation puts three points on the table rather than two. An inter-conference game cannot move the Capitals and the Kings past each other in any playoff race — they compete for places in different conferences — but the points count toward each club’s total exactly as any other game’s do, and the overall table decides home-ice advantage in the Stanley Cup Final and the Presidents’ Trophy.

Can the Capitals and Kings meet in the playoffs?

Only in the Stanley Cup Final. The Capitals are in the Eastern Conference and the Kings in the Western Conference, and each conference plays out its own bracket until the final round.

Where can I follow the Capitals and Kings for the rest of the season?

Each club has its own Kalshi team page with its schedule, form and futures prices, and every Capitals and Kings game Kalshi lists has a market page with the moneyline. The NHL standings, schedule and Stanley Cup odds pages cover the rest of the league, and the matchup index carries every other pairing the Washington Capitals and the Los Angeles Kings are in.
