Washington Capitals and Toronto Maple Leafs are two of the most competitive teams in the NHL Eastern Conference, so their first clash of the regular season to be played next Wednesday is generating a great expectancy in their fans. In this regard, both teams are having a wonderful offensive performance, but they are most likely expected to neutralize each other in this game.
On the one hand, Washington Capitals are in the third spot of the Metropolitan Division, being worthy to mention that they’re the second-best offensive with 59 scored goals. Nonetheless, they had an irregular performance during their last 5 games as they couldn’t win 2 games in a row after losing against Carolina Hurricanes and Pittsburgh Penguins, so players like Connor McMichael and Tom Wilson are expected to carry on supporting Alex Ovechkin with the offensive production.
On the other hand, Toronto Maple Leafs have a 5-3-2 record in their last 10 games, positively remarking on the Atlantic Division with a streak of 3 victories in a row. The only concerning fact for the Maple Leafs is that William Nylander is having some difficulties to be as effective as he was during the beginning of the season and Auston Matthews haven’t recovered yet from the awful performance he had during the prior season’s playoffs.
