Washington Capitals vs Anaheim Ducks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/05/25

The Washington Capitals travel to Anaheim to face the Ducks for the first time this season on Friday. Anaheim has been a pleasant surprise so far, sitting atop the Pacific Division and ranking among the league’s highest-scoring teams. However, the Ducks have also conceded plenty of goals. Coming off a tough 7-0 loss to Utah, tonight’s matchup won’t be any easier. With Lukas Dostal out of the lineup, someone will need to step up and provide stability — but it’s unlikely that this will happen tonight. On the other hand, the Capitals have been on a hot streak over the past few weeks — showing no signs of slowing down.

The Caps have won 6 games in a row, including a dominant 7-1 victory over the Sharks. Their offense has improved since the beginning of the season, and they continue to receive excellent goaltending from Logan Thompson. Even if Anaheim manages to score a few goals, their defensive struggles are likely to hurt them. Additionally, Washington rarely goes beyond regulation — so I predict they will secure the win without needing overtime.
