Next Thursday night will bring many NHL Inter-Conference games, being undeniable that the clash between Washington Capitals and Colorado Avalanche is one with a very high expectation due to the great quality that both teams have within their squads. Also, it must be remarked that both teams will definitely be contenders to occupy playoffs’ spots in their respective Divisions by the end of the regular season.
When analyzing both teams’ performances, Washington Capitals currently are in the second spot of the Metropolitan Division with a streak of 3 victories in a row, being also necessary to note that they’re the best offensive in the Eastern Conference with 78 scored goals. Nevertheless, they’ve struggled during the third period of their last 2 home games, which they lost by 0-2.
On Colorado Avalanche’s case, this team hasn’t had a good overall performance during the beginning of the regular season due to their defensive fragility that put them as the second worst defensive of the Western Conference with 70 conceded goals. In addition, they haven’t been able to score in the first period during their last 3 away games in a row, so players like Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar must exponentially improve their individual stats.
