One of the main headers in the 2024/25 NHL season was the all-time scoring record that was broken by Alex Ovechkin; however, in the current season he has barely taken more than 3 shots on goal per game. Despite this can be perceved as negative, in reality it has had a positive impact on the team, as they aren’t depending on him to generate most of the dangerous opportunities.
With the past in mind, the Washington Capitals will face a tough home game against the Ottawa Senators next Saturday, a game in which the Capitals are favorites to win according to the bookies’ odds. Nonetheless, it must be considered that they played less than 24 hours before the kickoff of this game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, so they could be at a physical disadvantage.
Meanwhile, the Ottawa Senators recently got a very important victory over the Philadelphia Flyers, a victory that could have been larger if the Canadians would have been more effective. To accomplish that goal, players like Claude Giroux and Shane Pinto are expected to maintain their shooting average, but their effectiveness is expected to increase to take advantage of all the opportunities they generate during each game.
