The Capitals won all eight of their matchups against New Jersey in 2020, with only two of those victories by more than one goal. In their last regular season meeting, both Ovechkin and Kuznetsov netted goals in a 5-4 home win in April.
While New Jersey has struggled to stop goals on the power play, their ability to score with a man advantage has been even worse. Despite scoring eight goals in two games, none have come on the power play, going 0-for-5 with a man advantage this year.
Devils goaltender Jonathan Bernier is expected to get the start in goal, as he has started every game thus far for New Jersey. He's gone a perfect 2-0 while saving 91.1% of all shots on goal. The 15-year veteran currently holds his lowest goals allowed average since 2013 with the Los Angeles Kings.
