Capitals at Red Wings 1/6/19 - NHL Picks & Predictions

The Washington Capitals have got to maintain their great game play if they want to stay on top of the division. The Capitals with Ovechkin, Holtby, and Backstrom have found themselves sitting back on top of the Metro Division and look to be pulling away, but the Penguins have been looking decent lately and the Blue Jackets are still a team that cannot be discounted.

Leading the scoring on the year for the Red Wings has been Dylan Larkin who has managed to get 40 points on the year with 18 goals on the season. The Red Wings have relied on Gustav Nyquist to pass the puck as he has 25 assist on the season.

The Capitals are going to be able to play some great hockey in this game here as the Red Wings are struggling quite a bit on the season. The Capitals have been able to do decent when it comes to scoring and with the combination of Backstrom and Ovechkin on the ice they will easily over power Jimmy Howard in this game. Final Score Prediction, Washington Capitals win 4-1.
