The Washington Capitals have emerged as a legit favorite to win the Metropolitan Division or at the very least compete for the top spot a month into the season. Here are the top 5 storylines as we're exactly one month into the season.
#5 Two headed monster at goaltending once again
The Capitals added Logan Thompson from the Vegas Golden Knights over draft weekend via a trade with former Caps GM George McPhee and the rest as they say is history.
Charlie Lindgren entered the season as the number one favorite and he's still a legitimate goaltender. After all it was him who helped guide the Caps into the playoffs. He still has a 2.76 goals against average and an .897 save percentage. His record is 3-4-0.
Thompson is undefeated and made Capitals history as the first netminder to win all seven of his games. His goals against average is at 2.55 and his save percentage is at .910.
The other night against the Blues, Lindgren stopped 24 of the 25 shos he faced. He made 33 saves out of 35 chances in his previous start against the Nashville Predators. He also had 34 saves on 36 shots in the win on Nov. 2 against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
