Capitals Love The 1st Period OVER
The Capitals have seven players on pace for over 20 goals this year, including Alex Ovechkin chasing Wayne Gretzky's all-time goal lead. So, it's not a surprise this offense has carried Washington to a lot of first period OVERs. The Capitals lead the NHL with 265 first period goals through the first 73 games.
