Two confirmed goalie mismatches on home ice: Logan Thompson in the Caps home opener against Arturs Silovs, and Lukas Dostal in Anaheim against an Oilers crease handed to Devon Levi.
Thompson ran a .912 over 58 games last year and is .939 to start this one while Silovs sits at .886; Dostal is .918 and confirmed while Levi is at .810 and Jarry gave up six on 23 shots opening night.
Early-season save percentages are tiny samples and McDavid can steal a game by himself, but -162 and a +110 home dog rolling to about +240 is two reads we would play alone.
