The Washington Capitals will go for five in a row tonight against the high flying, explosive offense of the Toronto Maple Leafs. This is certainly a good night to bet the over as a lot of goals could be scored from both sides. The Caps will look to avenge a 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs on Feb. 28 but this team is much different than the team on the ice that night.

It was after that loss when the Caps began to get hot. Then after a pair of losses brought them down to earth the team held a players only meeting and they weren’t the same since. The Caps have also won’t he last two games against Toronto at Scotiabank Arena, a streak that began on Feb. 21, 2019.

Among active players in the NHL, Alex Ovechkin ranks first in goals with 41 as well as points with 74 against the Maple Leafs, despite never being in the same division as them. His 0.90 goals per game rate against Toronto is the highest he has against any Eastern Conference team.

While the Caps are looking for five straight wins overall, they come into this matchup on a five game road winning streak. Ovechkin is on a five game point streak with four goals and three assists and has scored a goal in four straight games.

The Caps are coming off a 9-2 takedown over the Philadelphia Flyers which was the most goals they scored since scoring nine against the Boston Bruins on March 3, 2008. The Caps are 41-22-10 with 92 points, three points behind the Bruins for the first Wild Card spot as well as three behind the Pittsburgh Penguins for third in the Metropolitan Division. The Maple Leafs are 47-20-6 with 100 points, already clinched a playoff spot and sit at second place in the Atlantic Division.

Ovechkin is fourth in the NHL in goals with 46 while Auston Matthews leads the league with 58 goals at age 24.
