#2 Connor McMichael
Congrats to the Connor McMichael family on the birth of their new kid. He'll be looking to use his dad strength tonight along with Tom Wilson against the beasts of the east in the New York Rangers. McMichael's four game point streak came to an end on Oct. 26 against Tampa Bay.
McMichael recorded three straight multi point games ranking second on the Caps in assists with five and points with eight while tied for second in goals with three and tied for first in plus minus with a plus six. His four game point streak was tied for the longest of his career which was from March 30 through March 26 with three goals, two assists and five points.
McMichael set career highs in goals, assists, points and games played last season with 18 goals and 15 assists for 33 points in 80 games played and it's nearly a quarter of the way toward his point total from last season just seven games into the season.
In practice news, Logan Thompson was the first goalie off the ice. He will get the nod tonight against the Rangers. Before we get to number one the Caps betting odds on Caesars Sportsbook Capitals as +1.5 point underdogs at home. The moneyline is set at -155 for the Rangers and +130 for the Caps with an over/under of 6.0. Without further ado here's number one.
