If the answer is “no,” that’s OK. Montreal nearly backed its way into the playoffs and the Washington Capitals hit a rough patch of their own. Still, this matchup brings a whole bunch of juice — the most prolific goal scorer of all time, the East’s top team and the return of postseason hockey to one of the sport’s true epicenters.

The Caps are once again big favorites in Game 2, and while the Canadiens had a good push late in Game 1, it’s hard to pick against a team that went 26-9-6 at home this season (and the Canadiens were just 17-19-5 on the road).

After an exciting Game 1 overtime win for the Washington Capitals, they will hit the ice again for Game 2 against the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday.
