Capitals vs Canadiens playoffs preview
from Capitals MinuteCast w/Dan Holmi · host MinuteCast Media
As the playoffs approach, the Canadiens find themselves in a challenging position, finishing 5th in the Atlantic Division. In contrast, the Washington Capitals are motivated to add another Stanley Cup to Alex Ovechkin's legacy before he retires. After a strong turnaround from last season's last-place finish, they won the Eastern Conference and Metro Division this year but enter the playoffs with a mixed record of 4-7-0 in their last eleven games, raising concerns about their consistency. The Capitals boast a physically dominant roster, featuring players like Tom Wilson and McIlrath, which could give them an edge over the Canadiens.Key players to watch for the Capitals include Logan Thompson, who is expected to return from injury, and backup Charlie Lindgren, who has performed well in his absence. The potential return of Protas, the team's third-highest scorer, is also crucial. Meanwhile, Dylan Strome's impressive 82-point season and Ovechkin's 44 goals highlight the offensive threats Washington poses. With multiple players showcasing offensive depth, the Capitals aim to leverage their strengths against the Canadiens, especially considering their last playoff encounter in 2010 ended with an unexpected elimination for Washington.Ready to snack smarter?
