Dallas Stars vs Washington Capitals Prediction, Odds and Picks for Wednesday, 01/07/26

The Washington Capitals will face the Dallas Stars on Wednesday night. The Stars come into this game riding a 6-game losing streak following a loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night. The Capitals were sitting idle on Tuesday and they will be well rested and ready to pounce on the Stars. The Stars are struggling right now; the main issue is their defensive play. Heading into action on Tuesday, Dallas was the fifth-best defensive team in the league by averaging 2.71 goals against per game. It has been a different story as of late, as the Stars have allowed 4 or more goals in every game during this skid. They will be facing a good offensive team in the Caps, who average 3.30 goals per game.

The Capitals are a very good home team. They boast a 13-7-3 record at the Capital One Arena. The home side will have superstar netminder in goal in Logan Thompson. On the season, he has a 2.37 GAA and .915 SVP. This will be a tough test for the Capitals against a very good Dallas team, but they can get it done. Give me the Caps in this one.
