Washington Capitals vs Calgary Flames Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/23/26

The Washington Capitals will face the Calgary Flames on Friday night. The Capitals come into this one on a 4-game losing streak. The issue for them has been their defense and goaltending. Through its last 4 games, Washington has given up 17 goals. Luckily, the Caps will be going up against a Calgary eam that has lost 7 of its last 10 games. Additionally, the Flames have only scored 2 goals over their last 2 games. Calgary’s offense ranks 31st at 2.52 goals per game. The Flames also hold the lowest powerplay percentage in the NHL (14.8%). This should be just what the Capitals need to right the ship.

On the offensive end, the Capitals are averaging 3.18 goals per game and 29.2 shots on target. These are great offensive numbers. The Capitals’ offense should be able to find their groove against a Flames team that has given up 17 goals over their last 5 home games, which includes losses in 4 of them. The Capitals have also scored 15 goals over their last 5 away games. Overall, I suspect we see the Caps dominate both sides of the puck in this one. I’m taking Washington on the money line.
