The Washington Capitals are good. They’ve won nine of their last ten games, have lost only nine games in regulation all season, and have Alex Ovechkin.
The St. Louis Blues are inconsistent. They have Vladimir Tarasenko, who hasn’t scored a goal for five games, a starting goalie who isn’t playing very well, and are 5-5-0 in their last ten. They also managed to lose a disappointing game to the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night, marred by defensive unawareness and sloppy goaltending.
Hey, at least the offense was firing.
