Capitals at Blues 1/3/19 - NHL Picks & Predictions

The Capitals have been playing really well on the season and they have found themselves battling between the Penguins and Blue Jackets for first place. However, the Capitals are a team that will be able to continue to battle on the year and that could easily be done here as the Blues have been struggling on the season.

The Capitals have been able to rely on Alex Ovechkin who has been able to score a total of 45 points on the year with 29 goals on the year and 16 assist. The Capitals have been able to rely on Nicklas Backstrom to get a total of 34 assist on the year. The Blues have struggled on the season quite a bit this year and that is something they are going to try to avoid having to happen again in this game. The problem is the way the Blues have been playing and the number of struggles they have had is going to really add up on the team as the Blues have not been able to play well at all.

The Blues on the year have seen Ryan O'Reilly be the team leader when it comes to scoring on the season. O'Reilly on the year has been able to score a total of 35 points on the year with 20 of them being assist on the season, but the Blues have been able to rely on O'Reilly to get a total of 15 goals as well.
