The NHL Saturday’s night schedule will bring up such a difficult match for Tampa Bay Lightning as they’ll be confronting Washington Capitals at 05:00 pm Central Time. This game is totally opposite to the general expectation as the Capitals are currently having such a great beginning of the season, being only 1 point behind New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils in the Metropolitan Division.
When looking at Tampa Bay Lightning’s performance, it can be found that they’re having a very irregular season, only being able to win 1 out of their last 4 games but showing the best offensive level in the Atlantic Division with 28 scored goals. In this sense, Tampa Bay Lightning have the great advantage of having players like Nikita Kucherov, Brandon Hagel and Anthony Cirelli, who have cooperated with 8 points, 5 goals and 7 assists, respectively.
On Washington Capitals’ case, they’re the only team from the Eastern Conference that has won their last 5 games in a row including overtime, streak that is totally related to the amazing defensive performance they’ve had after only receiving 18 goals this season. Even so, this team could become even better when attacking if Alex Ovechkin increases his effectiveness when shooting on target.
