Lightning at Capitals 3/20/19 - NHL Picks & Predictions

The Lightning are the best team in the NHL and that is going to really show in this game here, but this is a game that could be a playoff preview as the Lightning and the Capitals are both sitting atop their divisions. However, the Lightning are coming into this game as one of those that are fairly unstoppable on the season so far. The Capitals, though, have bounced back and around all over the place on the season and that could really hurt the team coming into this game here as they are not very consistent in how they have been playing. With the Lightning the team has the best offense with a 3.85 goals per game average and a 28.4% conversion on the power play. The Lightning have allowed only 2.60 goals per game, but the Lightning have killed of 85.7% of the power plays they have faced.

For the Capitals the team has been able to score a total of 3.39 goals a game, but have converted on the power play only at a rate of 21.8%. With the defense the Capitals have allowed only 3.11 goals per game, but the Capitals have been able to kill off 79.8% of the power plays they have faced.
