Vancouver Canucks vs Washington Capitals Prediction & Betting Tips - NHL
by Matthew Newman | in NHL Predictions
The 42-17-8 Vancouver Canucks will host the 31-25-9 Washington Capitals early on Sunday morning at Rogers Arena. The Canucks saw a five-game win streak come to a halt when they fell to the Colorado Avalanche in their most recent game, which will hurt as they were 3-0 to the good with just a few seconds of the second period on the clock. Their number one netminder Thatcher Denko is out injured for a couple of weeks which means that backup Casey DeSmith will get the playing time. DeSmith has not had a strong season, his goals-against average is almost half a goal higher than Demko and his save percentage is sub .900. Their 6th ranked defence in goals-against will need to step up again to give him protection.
The Caps are still in with a chance of a wildcard spot in the playoffs but they have been so inconsistent. In their last nine, they have scored five and twice netted six but also had two or fewer in four of them. The story is the same at the other end with four of their last eight conceding two or fewer but also shipping five, seven and eight goals in that time. This is the 4th fixture of a five-game road swing which will finish in Calgary. They lost in Winnipeg and Edmonton before a win in Seattle in their most recent game. Alex Ovechkin is in another goalscoring slump with just two in his last 11 games. Connor McMichael has tallied in their last two games.
