Columbus Blue Jackets vs Washington Capitals Predictions, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/24/25

The Washington Capitals travel to Columbus to take on the Blue Jackets for the first time this season on Friday. The Capitals have gotten off to a strong start and are hoping to keep that momentum going. They are a middle-of-the-pack team when it comes to scoring goals, but their goaltending has been elite. As a team, they are allowing just 1.86 goals against and just slightly over 24 shots against. When it comes to playing defense, Washington knows how to get it done.

Although the Blue Jackets aren’t as locked in defensively, they are still doing an outstanding job. Despite allowing a decent number of shots against, their goals-against average is 2.67. Both teams can generate scoring chances, but it doesn’t mean the puck will find the back of the net. It’s interesting to see that Total opened this high. Expect it to drop as we approach puck drop, so lock in the Under now.

Capitals vs Blue Jackets prediction: Under 6.5 (-125) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
