It's time to look at the top 3 players who we think are going to shine tonight for the Washington Capitals in their game against the Anaheim Ducks. The Capitals will look to extend their home point streak to 11 games as they enter tongiht with a 7-0-3 record. The season series will be completed on March 11 in Anaheim.
Washington is 23-19-1-2 all time against Anaheim and 7-4-1 in their last 12 games against the Ducks dating back to the 2017-18 season. The Capitals swept the season series last year ouscoring the Ducks 7-4 over two games.
#3 Tom Wilson
Tom Wilson led the Washington Capitals attack last season against the Ducks as he had four points in those two games with all of them being goals. He scored his 19th goal of the season on Saturday at Nashville. His goal against the Predators came on the power play which marked his team leading ninth power play goal of the season. Wilson's nine power play goals are tied for the fourth most in the NHL.
Wilson is one goal shy of his fourth career 20 goal season. With 33 points in 43 games with 19 goals and 14 assists, Wilson is on pace for 36 goals and 62 points this season. Both of which would mark career highs.
