Blues vs Capitals Pickswise Expert Predictions

Money Line 3-Way Pick
WAS Capitals(+105)

The St. Louis Blues make their first trip of the season to Washington to take on the Capitals. The Blues have lost 4 of their last 5 games, and continue to give up a ton of goals. As a team, they are allowing 4 goals against– the highest of any team– despite allowing just over 25 shots. It’s no secret that the goaltending has not been up to standard, which likely won’t change tonight. Their penalty kill has also been a disaster, operating at just 67.6%. It’s hard to win hockey games when you can’t score goals and your goaltending can’t make a save.

The Capitals have stumbled over the last 10 days– losing 4 in a row– so they’ll want to come out strong on home ice and put an end to this losing streak. They have struggled to score goals during this recent slide, but on the season, they are averaging just 2.58 goals per contest. Logan Thompson has been nothing short of excellent, sporting a 1.51 GAA and a .935 SV%, but he can’t go out there and score goals. The Capitals’ power play has also really struggled, so this is a good opportunity to get some positive momentum. It’s understandable to see why the Money Line gap isn’t huge, but Washington is still the better team, and they have the pieces in place to score. They just need to score early and often to put this game out of reach.
