While the jets were in Boston to dismantle the Bruins last night, the capital of Washington lost to ottawa.
So now, without distraction, we can talk about the battle between the best team in the East against the best team in the West on Saturday evening in the American capital.
When the season started, there was probably not much to predict that Winnipeg and Washington would be the best of their respective conferences on February 1. But this is, in fact, the case.
There is a good chance that we could see the two best goalkeepers of hockey to go, to Connor Hellebuyck against Logan Thompson. We all know the Winnipeg goalkeeper goalkeeper, but Thompson, who played Junior in Brandon, has only lost twice in regulations this season. We emerge from the in -depth score of the jets, then recognize that the capitals have nine players with at least 10 goals.
And let’s not be mistaken, these two teams are really the best in the league. The n ° 1 team of goals? Winnipeg. N ° 2? Washington. The best defensive team in the League? Capitals. N ° 2? Jets.
