Capitals at Oilers 10/24/19 - NHL Picks & Predictions

The Capitals were able to pick up a very nice win on the road over Calgary. The game was one which the Capitals did not really look challenged. What else helps the Capitals out is the experience of the players and the level of play. The Capitals, who won over the Flames 5-3, were able to get their record up to a 7-2-2 mark on the season.

T.J. Oshie leads the Capitals in the goal scoring with 7 goals. John Carlson has managed to get 15 assist on the year and 3 goals to bring him to 18 points this season. Braden Holtby has picked up 3 wins for the Capitals this season with a 3.70 goals against average, but has ended up saving 87.8% of the shots faced.

Edmonton seems to have fallen flat offensively in the last couple of games. The game against Winnipeg ended up being a 1-0 shutout. The last game for the Oilers, was against the Wild who do not have a good offense, but still saw the Oilers shutout in the loss. The game against the Wild ended up in a 3-0 loss for the Oilers and that dropped the record to 7-2-1.

James Neal has managed to lead the Oilers in the goal scoring with 9 goals. Connor McDavid leads the team in assist with 12 of them and 17 points overall. Mikko Koskinen is the goalie who leads the Oilers in the wins department with 4. Koskinen has allowed only 2.21 goals a game and saved 93.4% of the shots face this season.

Edmonton has fallen flat offensively in the last 2 games and facing a high powered offense like the Capitals definitely spells disaster. The Capitals have been fairly well balanced on the year and that definitely helps the Capitals in this game here. Look for the balance of the Capitals to make a good change of pace for the Capitals over the Oilers. Final Score Prediction, Washington Capitals win 4-1.
