|
| | | WASHINGTON: LAST SEASON: 45-26-11, 101 points. Second in Metropolitan
Division. Lost to New York Rangers in Eastern Conference
semifinals.
COACH: Barry Trotz (second season, 17th NHL season).
ADDED: F T.J. Oshie, F Justin Williams.
LOST: D Mike Green, F Troy Brouwer, F Joel Ward, F Eric Fehr, F
Curtis Glencross, D Tim Gleason.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Alex Ovechkin. When it comes to the Capitals,
it's always about the three-time NHL MVP and man of many
nicknames - "Alexander the Great," "The Great 8," "Ovi." He just
turned 30, and while he jokes about how he isn't keeping count,
at some point there will arrive a time when his aggressive style
of hit-and-be-hit play will take a toll. Still, Ovechkin scored
53 goals last season, his sixth season getting to the
half-century mark.
OUTLOOK: Not much new here: For a half-dozen years or so, the
Capitals have entered the season with high expectations, often
lived up to them during the regular season, then flopped in the
playoffs. Ovechkin has said it's time to stop talking about
potential and start doing something when the games count the
most. He's never been past the second round of the playoffs and
is 3-6 in Game 7s, so not until spring will everything be
evaluated. | | TORONTO: LAST SEASON: 38-6-8, 84 points, finished 12th in the East and
missed the playoffs.
COACH: Randy Carlyle, fifth season with the Leafs, 343-244-77.
ADDED: RW Matt Frattin, C Leo Komarov, D Roman Polak, D Stephane
Robidas, C Mike Santorelli.
LOST: C Dave Bolland, D Tim Gleason, D Carl Gunnerson, C Jay
McClement, RW Nikolai Kulemin, LW Mason Raymond.
PLAYER TO WATCH: David Clarkson. The right winger's first season
with his boyhood team was one he'd rather forget. Clarkson had
with 11 points (five goals and six assists) in 60 games with a
minus-14 rating after agreeing to a seven-year, $36.75 million
deal with Toronto.
OUTLOOK: The hirings of Brendan Shanahan as team president, Kyle
Dubas as the assistant general manager and the added emphasis of
analytics seem to indicate a new day for the Leafs. But much of
the team that lost 12 of their final 14 games last season has
returned. Coupled with the fact that the Leafs are in a division
with 2013-14 playoff teams in Boston, Tampa Bay, Montreal and
Detroit, it's hard to envision a scenario in which Toronto shows
enough improvement to contend for a postseason berth in 2014-15. |
| | Capitals-Maple Leafs Preview By PAUL DIGIACOMO STATS Senior Editor
The Washington Capitals continued their strong Atlantic Division teams their last time out. The Toronto Maple Leafs have witnessed first-hand how dominant they can be. Washington looks to extends its overall win streak to five with a fourth straight victory over Toronto on Saturday night. The Capitals (16-5-1) beat Tampa Bay 4-2 on Friday to improve to 19-1-3 in their last 23 against Atlantic opponents. Jason Chimera had a power-play goal and an assist, Alex Ovechkin scored and Evgeny Kuznetsov had two assists for Washington, which has outscored teams 17-8 during its four-game run. Chimera has three goals and two assists on the power play in eight games since being put on the second line with Kuznetsov, who leads the team with 26 points and has eight in the past four games. "He makes things a little easy," Chimera said. "It's just one of those things where, he's a special kid, special player. He's making me look good, that's for sure." Three of those 19 wins over Atlantic clubs have come against Toronto, including 3-2 in a shootout Nov. 7 after Nicklas Backstrom tied the game with 0.8 seconds left in regulation. The Capitals have outscored the Maple Leafs 12-4 in those matchups. "The margin for error is really small," forward James van Riemsdyk told the Maple Leafs' official website. "They're going to make some plays out there with the players they have on their team, so you have to make sure you're sharp for the whole 60 minutes and not give them any freebies. They've shown what they can do when they have a lot of space." Ovechkin has four goals in the last five games overall and Backstrom has seven points in the past six. Ovechkin has 13 goals and 10 assists during the stretch against Atlantic teams with Backstrom equaling that 23-point total with five goals and 18 assists. The Maple Leafs (7-10-5) are coming off a home-and-home sweep to the Bruins, losing 2-0 in Boston last Saturday and 4-3 in a shootout Monday. They fell behind 2-0 after the first period before rallying to tie it on Tyler Bozak's goal with 3:51 remaining in the second. Toronto struggled on special teams, going 0 for 6 on the power play - including one in overtime - while allowing a short-handed goal. The Capitals are 4 for 6 on the power play over their last two games. However, the Maple Leafs managed to pick up a point for the eighth time in 10 games following a 1-6-1 stretch. "We're still a work in progress," left wing Joffrey Lupul said. "It's kind of the quarter pole (of the season) now, but you can see noticeable differences. We're better now than we were a couple months ago, but we're going to have to keep improving if we want to be a team that can stay in that playoff race." Ovechkin and Backstrom each had a goal and an assist in the first meeting, with Ovechkin also scoring the only shootout goal in the fourth round. Ovechkin has four goals and two assists during the three-game win streak in the series, while Backstrom has seven points in his last six matchups. "He scores goals and he's done it consistently through his whole career," Toronto captain Dion Phaneuf said of Ovechkin, who ranks third all-time behind Mike Bossy and Mario Lemieux with 0.62 goals per game. "He's dangerous every time he has the puck, he's a shooter, he loves to shoot the puck, and he shoots it hard and shoots it very well." |
