Washington Capitals Look to Keep Offense in High Gear
The Toronto Maple Leafs and Washington Capitals, two of the top teams in this young NHL season, clash on Tuesday a 7 PM ET. Both teams will bring offensively-gifted lineups to the ice, which should translate into a high-scoring affair.
Oddsmakers have the Caps at -125-moneyline favorites. The total is at 6.
So far in 2017-18, the Toronto Maple Leafs have paced the league, going 4-1-0 and lead all other teams in goals scored with 26. Centre, Auston Matthews, is once again leading the Leafs offensively in just his second full season; he’s tallied an impressive five goals and three assists over the first five games of the season. That performance has helped the Leafs reach an NHL-best 30.8% power play percentage.
Equally impressive has been the offense of the Washington Capitals. While looking at the leader board for the league’s top offensive players, you’ll find a collection of Capitals. RW Alex Ovechkin has been the hottest goal scorer in the NHL thus far, breaking out with nine goals in just six games. With him is fellow Cap Evgeny Kuznetsov, who has tallied 11 helpers, and leads the league in points. When these two squads take the ice on Tuesday, get ready to see skill in the highest degree.
