The NHL Eastern Conference is keeping its high competitiveness, so next Friday, December 06th, Washington Capitals are expected to face such a complicated away game against Toronto Maple Leafs. In this regard, Washington will put their top spot of the Eastern Conference on the line, so they must avoid a disastrous performance like the one they had against San Jose Sharks.
However, it must be noted that Toronto Maple Leafs have a 12-3-0 record when playing at home, not being surprising enough that they hold a streak of 3 victories in a row, in which they scored 3 or more goals per game. That good offensive performance was clearly influenced by Auston Matthews return, which took off an important pressure over players like Mitch Marner and William Nylander.
Meanwhile, Washington Capitals lost their streak of consecutive victories after their disappointing overtime loss against San Jose Sharks (1-2), nonetheless they still are the best offensive in the Eastern Conference with 102 scored goals throughout the season, currently having a 9-2-0 away record. Despite those good offensive numbers, the fact that Ovechkin will be available until next December 16th is really concerning for this team, as the Russian is the top scorer of this team with 15 goals throughout the season.
