The defense has not provided any support even though the goaltenders have done individually well with over 0.900 save percentages and over 600 saves. The open defense has not helped their cause and all their efforts have gone in vain.They will look to address all the flaws in this game.
New Jersey's offense has been in superb form, giving them an advantage whenever they play. The ever-lasting partnership between Jesper Bratt and Nico Hischier has made the required contribution which puts the team ahead with over 20 goal contributions each.
Their defense has conceded just 2.3 goals per game, transforming them into one of the best defenses in the league. All the goaltenders have made a big impact with Vitek Vanecek leading the charge with his crucial gameplay and save percentage.
Capitals vs. Devils Betting Prediction
Washington has not played well and suffers further whenever it plays without rest. Their poor defense adds to the misery of their poor road record and is likely to be in trouble in this game.
New Jersey, on the other hand, is one of the most settled teams barring a few losses, and they are very much comfortable at home. Solid defense puts them ahead in the context of attacks.
Prediction : Take New Jersey, -1.5(+145)
