Capitals vs. Devils Preview
The Devils have had a strong start to the season, currently sitting sixth in the Eastern Conference with a 3-1-1 record. Their offense has been firing on all cylinders, with center Jack Hughes leading the way with 4 goals and 10 assists. The team’s defensive performance has also been commendable, with the Devils allowing an average of 3.20 goals per game. However, they will need to tighten up their defense against a Capitals team that, despite their struggles, has the potential to be explosive offensively.
The Capitals, on the other hand, have had a rough start to the season, with a 1-3-1 record and a -12 goal differential. Their offense has been lackluster, scoring an average of 1.8 goals per game, the lowest in the NHL. Their defense has also been porous, allowing the 5th-most goals per game. The team will need to step up on both ends of the ice if they hope to turn their season around. Center Dylan Strome and defenseman John Carlson have been the bright spots for the Capitals, with Strome leading the team with 2 goals and Carlson with 3 assists.
In terms of key matchups, the game could come down to the performance of the goaltenders. The Devils’ Vitek Vanecek has been solid in net, making 27 saves in their last game against the Canadiens. The Capitals’ goaltending situation is less certain, with Darcy Kuemper allowing four goals on 17 shots in their last game against the Maple Leafs. If the Capitals hope to win, they will need a strong performance from their goaltender. Given the current form of both teams, the Devils have the edge in this matchup and are likely to come out on top.
Capitals vs. Devils Pick
Despite the Capitals’ potential for offensive explosiveness, their current form suggests that they may struggle against the Devils’ strong offense and solid goaltending from Vitek Vanecek. Given these factors, the pick for this game would be a moneyline bet on the New Jersey Devils.
The Devils’ current form, strong offense, and solid goaltending give them the edge in this matchup. While the Capitals have the potential to turn their season around, their current struggles on both ends of the ice make the Devils the safer bet in this game. The historic head-to-head data also supports this pick, with the Devils winning three out of the four previous encounters between these two teams.
While the Capitals have managed to cover the spread in three of these games, their current form suggests that they may struggle to do so in this game.
The Pick: New Jersey Devils -238 (DraftKings)
