The Montreal Canadiens and Washington Capitals meet for a Tuesday night, Eastern Conference clash in the NHL. These teams met back in November, in a chaotic 8-4 win for Washington. Here is our Canadiens vs. Capitals prediction for their second of three meetings this season.

In their last matchup, we saw a total of 12 goals. While I don’t expect to see that total again, I am expecting another high-scoring result. Montreal’s efforts to keep the puck out of the net have been suspect, largely in part due to a carousel of goaltenders. In 46 games, three Montreal goaltenders have produced an overall goals against average of 3.20 and save percentage of .885. Washington should have a great chance to score at will, as they are on home ice playing a team on the second half of a back to back. As for Montreal’s offense, they are young, skilled, and high-flying, and have scored 4 or more goals in 4 of their last 5 games. I believe they will also score multiple goals, win or lose, which leads me to an over.
