Money Line 3-Way PickBest Bet
WAS Capitals(+105)

The Washington Capitals will be visiting the Nashville Predators on Sunday evening. This will be the second game in as many days for the Predators. With that being the case, they will have backup netminder, Justus Annunen, getting the start in goal. He has not been great this season as he has a 3.29 GAA and .878 SVP. The Capitals will have a significant advantage in goal as Logan Thompson is slated to get the start for them. He has a 2.35 GAA and .916 SVP. The Capitals are a far better offensive and defensive team. They are ranked 9th in the NHL, averaging 3.29 goals per game and they are averaging 2.78 goals against per game, which is good for sixth-best in the league.

The Capitals are without Tom Wilson at the moment, but they have seen major contributions from Justin Sourdif and Connor McMichael in his absence. The Capitals should be able to dominate this game despite being on the road. The Predators are not a playoff team and don’t have much to play for. If they can shut down Filip Forsberg, they should be successful in this game. Give me the Capitals in this one.
