Washington Capitals: Top 5 easiest games of 2021
#1 Nov. 8 vs. Buffalo Sabres
Just like last season, expect the Washington Capitals to dominate the Buffalo Sabres beginning on Nov. 8 at Capital One Arena when the two teams first meet. Right now there is drama up north surrounding their star player Jack Eichel as he’s been the top subject of trade rumors after the team mishandled his injury. It’s a sticky situation.
Whether Eichel is still with the Sabres or not, heck he might even be on the Caps (I’m kidding but GMBM could have something up his sleeve), the Caps are miles ahead of the Sabres and will continue their success against them. Maybe their second meeting is more of a trap game, but the former division rivals at least go toe to toe again just not eight times.
Instead the two teams will see each other twice next season, once at home and the other on the road in mid December. Last season the Caps went 6-1-1 against the Sabres and simply dominated them until the series finale which came in Nicklas Backstrom’s 1,000th game and was dubbed a trap game from the start.
