Tampa Bay Lightning vs Washington Capitals Prediction & Picks - NHL

 by Stephen Abiola | in NHL Picks

Washington Capitals (38-12-8) and Tampa Bay Lightning (33-20-4) will face off at the Capital One Arena on Friday night. Both Eastern Conference teams are doing well in their respective divisions, setting up an exciting clash. The Capitals are first in the Metropolitan Division with 84 points from 58 matches. However, they have looked shaky lately, going 5-2-3 in their last 10 assignments. The Capitals will be looking to bounce back from their 3-1 loss to the Flames at home when they face the Blues before hosting Tampa Bay. The Lightning are in fine form after sweeping aside their last six opponents to sit comfortably in third spot in the Atlantic Division. They have 70 points, just 4 behind Maple Leafs and 3 behind the Panthers. The Lightning can smell a chance to strike.
