The NHL regular season started one month ago, and even though there were some clear favorites at the beginning of the season, the reality is that this season has proved that all teams are competitive enough to battle for a playoff spot. In the Eastern Conference, there are only six points of difference between the first and the last place in the standings, so teams like the Tampa Bay Lightning and Washington Capitals still have chances of increasing their competitiveness.
On the one hand, the Tampa Bay Lightning is currently noted as the best defense in the Atlantic Division with 39 goals conceded; however, their offense just started working some matchdays ago, and it allowed them to leave the bottom spot of the Eastern Conference standings. In this matter, it must be noted that Nikita Kucherov has remained as the top performer of this team throughout the season, as he has been able to score seven goals and provide the same number of assists.
On the other hand, the Washington Capitals couldn’t create any momentum after their most recent 5-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. With that result in mind, it’s worth noting that the Capitals haven’t been able to win a road game since their 5-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets, a result that took place last October 24th. Additionally, it must be noted that their offense depended on Tom Wilson, who has been the only player to score more than 5 goals this season.
