After Washington's 5-3 home win over Nashville, Capitals traveled to Detroit for a 3-1 win. The home team enters the game with a 20-6-7 score (10-3-4 at home). The visiting Devils are not in bad form, at least as far as games after the break are concerned. First, they won at the unpredictable Buffalo 4:3, and then they beat Edmonton 6:5 at home after after overtime. They go into the game with a 12-15-5 score (4-8-2 away).
Washington will have to do without the following players - Cholowski (Covid-19), Eller (illness and is a question mark for this game), Fehervary (Covid-19), Jensen (Covid-19), Mantha (is on the long-term injured list after shoulder surgery and there is no clear target for when he will return), Schultz (Covid-19), Sprong (Covid-19) and Vanecek (Covid-19).
Even the guests are not "clean". They will have to do without Bernier, Tomas Tatar (Covid-19), Thompson (shoulder), Vesey (Covid-19) and Wood (injury).
* Capitals are 10-2 in their last 12 games against teams from the Eastern Conference.
* Capitals are 72-17 in their last 89 games as a favorite.
* Capitals are 64-16 in their last 80 games when playing at home as a favorite.
* Devils are 1-7 in their last eight Sunday games.
* Devils are 2-10 in their last 12 games as a away team and outsiders.
Washington vs New Jersey (standings)
* goals scored per game: 3.455 (5th) vs 2.844 (17th)
* goals conceded per game: 2.545 (5th) vs 3.406 (26th)
* shots on goal per game: 32.06 (15th) vs 31.72 (16th)
* success shooting percentage: 10.78% (5th) vs 8.97% (22nd)
* shot success rate of all goalies: 91.00 % (15th) vs 88.90 % (30th)
* power play usage: 15.15% (28th) vs 14.61% (31st)
* power play defended: 82.56% (9th) vs 80.85% (14th)
The home team is the favorite, but Devils can surprise sometimes. As far as the stats go, the home team is better at everything. Overall, Capitals are doing well against Devils. Capitals have won nine of the last 10 games between these two teams, and those were the last nine games. Usually at least five goals are scored in mutual matches.
My bet:
Washington Capitals to win and Over 3.5 Goals @ 1.82
