Next Friday the NHL will offer some Inter Conferences games, being one of the most attractive the confrontation between Colorado Avalanche and Washington Capitals, teams that could be considered as contenders to occupy a spot in the playoffs. Nonetheless, due to their irregularity they still cannot be considered as big contenders to battle for the Stanley Cup.
When looking at Colorado Avalanche’s performance they negatively highlight as the worst defensive in the Central Division with 63 received goals, however they’ve been able to win 3 games in a row, including a pair of victories against high-profile teams like Carolina Hurricanes and Los Angeles Kings. Most of this recovery can be attributed to Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen’s connection that has exponentially increased during their most recent games.
Meanwhile, Washington Capitals is the second-best offensive in the Metropolitan Division with 62 scored goals, but they showed a huge defensive inconsistency during their most recent game against Toronto Maple Leafs in which they lost a 3-1 advantage and lost the game in overtime, 3-4. Despite this, some players like Alex Ovechkin and Connor McMichael must be taken into consideration as the big favorites to take the leadership of the Capitals’ offensive for this game.
