Blues at Capitals 1/14/19 - NHL Picks & Predictions

The Blues have seen their fair share of struggles on the season and have to battle to get out of the basement. However, the Blues are a team that sits only 1 spot out of the cellar in the Central Division. What is even worse is the talent the Blues have on the roster is extensive, but has not shown up on the ice like it should on the year.

The Capitals on the year, when healthy, have been able to score at a clip of 3.43 goals a game. The defense for the Capitals is giving up 2.89 goals a game. The Capitals have ended up converting on the power play at 20.9%, but have killed off 77.8%.

Betting Trends for vs

The Blues have had quite a few problems on the year when it comes to scoring and the defense for the Blues has been fairly hard up. Look for the Blues to come in here and the defense will struggle against the pressing offense of the Capitals. The Capitals defense, if Holtby is not in the game will have some issues in slowing down the Blues offense, but will do just enough to win the game. Final Score Prediction, Washington Capitals win in low scoring under 3-1.
