The first challenge for Washington Capitals after assaulting the top spot of the Eastern Conference will be a home game against San Jose Sharks, a team that can be categorized as fragile, but whose persistency allowed them to win their last 2 games in a row. With that in mind, the Capitals must be as effective as possible during the early game to avoid any late game undesirable surprises.
When looking at Washington Capitals’ performance, this team is the first in the Eastern Conference to reach 100 scored goals throughout the season, also highlighting as the only one in the Conference to win their last 4 games in a row. In this regard, the most impressive is that this team is currently playing without their best player of the season, Alex Ovechkin, so they’re only expected to improve their level throughout the season.
On San Jose Sharks’ case, the players of this team have already proved themselves to be able to compete against teams like Seattle Kraken and LA Kings, however they still have big problems to perform with a solid defensive, remarking as the worst defensive in the Western Conference with 96 conceded goals. Shockingly, they’re the second-best offensive in the Pacific Division with 78 scored goals, recently having very productive second periods.Limited Offer. Currently at Caesars Sportsbook
