The Capitals enter this matchup with a 1-0 series lead, as they defeated Montreal 3-2 in overtime to start the series.

During the victory, Alex Ovechkin led the Washington offense. He ended the game with two goals and one assist, so he will look to perform similarly this evening.

Notably, Ovechkin led the team with 44 goals during the regular season.

In order to bounce back tonight, the Canadiens will need great performances from their star forwards Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield. Both players were able to find the back of the net in the series opener, but they were unable to secure the victory in overtime. With this in mind, Suzuki and Caufield will try to tie the series this evening.
