As the 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs unfold, matchups like the Canadiens vs. Capitals highlight the tension of past postseason clashes. The Capitals, who were once upset as the top seed by the Canadiens in 2010, are now favorites again with a powerful offense. The Canadiens come into this series with a recent lackluster performance and face substantial challenges, especially with their goalie situation. With Game 1 set to showcase their contrasting styles and histories, fans are eager for potential upsets and standout performances from key players.
In the postseason of 2010, the No. 8 seed Canadiens pulled off a shocking upset against the heavily favored No. 1 seed Capitals, largely due to Jaroslav Halak's stellar performance.
Despite the injury to Logan Thompson, the Capitals, boasting the NHLâs second-best offense at 3.49 goals per game, present a significant challenge for the offensively struggling Canadiens.
