The Washington Capitals (3-3-0, 6 points) face the Montreal Canadiens (3-2-1, 7 points) on Wednesday night after losing 4-2 to the reigning Stanley Cup champions, Carolina Hurricanes, on Tuesday.
The Caps are still leaning on their 41-year-old captain, Alex Ovechkin, but it's obvious that the legend's best days are way behind him after six games this season. Ovechkin has scored one goal so far this year, adding to his tally as the all-time leading scorer in NHL history (930).
The Canadiens captain, Nick Suzuki, leads the team with 8 points (3 goals, 5 assists) through six games, but Montreal have received production from multiple players to start the season.
One issue that faces the Canadiens this season is goaltending. Jacob Fowler and Jakub Dobes have split time to start the season, and neither one has been incredibly impressive thus far.
