The 2021-22 Washington Capitals have been something of a puzzle to figure out so far, with a very different team taking the ice opening night (and ever since) than we perhaps expected heading into this year. The lineup is ever-changing, the callups are frequent and varied, and the entire second line has been decimated by injuries.
One thing that is certain, however, is that the team’s top line has come to play – and they’ve basically been carrying the Caps through the first 12 games.
At the top of the list is, of course, Alex Ovechkin.
