The pace picks up for the Washington Capitals in Week 21, both in workload with a three-game week and in the pace their opponents set when they take the ice. This is a week that presents stiff challenges for a team that sometimes struggles against teams that play up-tempo. Caps fans hope the home cooking on the three-game home slate will be tasty.
The Opponents
Toronto Maple Leafs (Monday/7:00pm – Capital One Arena)
Washington will face the Maple Leafs for the first of three matchups this season on Monday.
