The Canadiens shocked Washington in game one. After that, the Caps woke up, scoring 11 goals in the next two games and re-establishing home ice advantage. That opening game loss ensures no more letdowns for the Caps in this series. This team is 25-17 on the road this season, scoring a ridiculous 3.9 goals per game. With their offense clicking, Montreal, a losing team at home, will struggle to keep up. Despite the outcome in game one, this is a great matchup for Washington. The Caps are 20-2 this season vs. teams like Montreal that average 3+ less shots on goal per game than their opponents. Washington takes a commanding lead in the series with a win here.
