Washington Capitals appeared to be ready to win a 4-straight game series against Montreal Canadiens, however they lost during their first away game of the series (6-3) last April 25th. Despite that, they still are considered as slightly favorites to win the fourth game of the series, so the Capitals are mandatorily expected to bring a more effective defensive performance.
Taking all this into consideration, it will make Montreal Canadiens look up to their second home victory of the series but being worth noting that they haven’t won two or more games consecutively since the beginning of April, when they won 6 games in a row. Additionally, it’s very unlikely that Montreal could have another 40 shots on target game, so their effectiveness must be seriously increased.
On Washington Capitals’ side, this team is still crossing through a very difficult moment, because even though this season will always be remembered as Ovechkin became the top scorer in the NHL history, the reality is that the offensive effectiveness from the whole squad needs to be improved to really become contenders for the championship. A first step for that objective would be scoring more than 3 goals, a line they surpassed only in one out of their last five games.
