Capitals
The Washington Capitals were able to carry their offensive load throughout the regular season, as they were able to score 3.33 goals per game. The team's leading goal-scorer this season was Tom Wilson. The team will also look to continue to rely on the play of Alexander Ovechkin, who has been leading the team in both goals and assists this season.
The offensive performance of the team was the main reason why it was able to win the first game of the series against the Florida Panthers. However, the team's defense was also able to limit the damage caused by the barraging attack.
Panthers
The team was led by the offensive performance of its players, as they were able to score 4.16 goals per game. However, in Game One, the team's offensive unit struggled, as both Sam Bennett and Claude Giroux scored, and the rest of the forwards failed to create effective scoring chances.
The team's defense also struggled in Game One, allowing four goals. The defensive pillar for the team was expected to be Aaron Ekblad and Mackenzie Weegar, who had combined for 9.8 defensive point shares during the regular season.
