Vancouver Canucks vs Washington Capitals Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/19/25

The Vancouver Canucks travel to Washington to take on the Capitals for the first time this season. Vancouver comes into today with a 3-2-0 record and have been pretty good defensively. Their offence has been a nice surprise, considering the lack of depth in their top-9. They are scoring 3 goals per game while averaging under 26 shots. It’s hard to be a successful team when your shot volume is that low, but for now, it’s working.

The Capitals are top-3 in goals against per game, averaging just 1.60 per contest. It’s surprising to see that number so low, considering their penalty kill is operating at just 63.6%. Goaltending has been above average, and considering the matchup, it should be another strong game for whoever is in goal. Neither team is very good on the power play, and goaltending has been a strong point. The low amount of scoring chances should lead to a low-scoring affair.
