Washington Capitals: Top 3 bold predictions for Stanley Cup Playoffs
#1 The Caps will win this tournament and here’s how
After the Round Robin the Caps will have the number two seed entering tournament play where they’ll take on the #7 New York Islanders and former coach Barry Trotz. The Caps will come out on top in six games setting up a second round playoff series with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Penguins will have gone through the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning up to that point. The Bruins will meet the Flyers in the other matchup. The Caps will beat the Penguins in seven games with Evgeny Kuznetsov and Alex Ovechkin connecting for the game-winning goal.
The Flyers will have upset the Bruins and the Conference Finals will feature two Metropolitan Division rivals. This will be a tough seven game series but once again the Caps will have grinded out a solid 60 minute Game 7 to win and advance to the Stanley Cup Final where the Colorado Avalanche and Andre Burakovsky will await.
The Caps will come out on top and win in six games. Alex Ovechkin will be awarded another Conn Smythe as playoffs MVP. He’ll have at least 16 playoff goals to his name, maybe 20 if he breaks out in the Round Robin.
