Capitals Host Canadiens on Friday Night

On Friday at 7:00 PM ET, the Washington Capitals will face the Montreal Canadiens, with several players under scrutiny for potential scoring. Alexander Ovechkin has scored in 14 of 25 games this season, including one goal against the Canadiens in a previous matchup. Nicholas Suzuki has found the net in 10 of 40 games but has only one goal in two games against the Capitals. Tom Wilson has been more prolific, scoring three goals in two games against Montreal. Sebastian Aho will compete against the Vancouver Canucks on the same night, having scored in 13 of 42 games this season. The Canadiens rank 25th in goals against, conceding 135 goals (3.4 per game), which may influence the scoring potential of players like Ovechkin and Wilson.
