Capitals at Devils picks and predictions

Prediction

Devils 4, Capitals 2

Moneyline

Lindgren has not played since Oct. 13. New Jersey is on a nice roll and has been getting scoring from diverse sources over its win streak.

From an expected-goals and puck-possession standpoint, the Devils are a moderate play at this price.

BACK NEW JERSEY (-130).

Puck line/Against the spread

Lots of juice here. The return on New Jersey is not high enough to warrant a play: PASS.

Over/Under

Lindgren getting the start adds some gray area here. The last 3 Capitals games have hit 7 or more goals, but the Devils have been responsible in their own end.

AVOID.

Washington Capitals at New Jersey Devils odds, picks, and prediction

Analyzing Thursday’s Washington Capitals at New Jersey Devils odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Washington Capitals (2-0-1) and New Jersey Devils (2-0-0) meet Thursday for a 7 p.m. ET contest at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. Below, we look at the Capitals vs. Devils odds and lines, and make our expert NHL picks, predictions and bets.

Washington is fresh off an impressive 6-3 win Tuesday over the Colorado Avalanche. The Caps played the Tampa Bay Lightning the game prior, so this contest figures as a drop in class. Washington went 8-0-0 against the Devils last season.

The Devils are playing the third of five straight home games after defeating the Chicago Blackhawks and the Seattle Kraken in their first two games. New Jersey outshot both the Blackhawks and Kraken and earned the victories despite being outscored a combined 3-0 on the power play.

Vanecek owns a 1.44 GAA and .938 SV% through two games this season. He logged a 2.44 GAA and .902 SV% against the Devils last season.

Capitals at Devils odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Capitals 4, Devils 2

Money line

The Caps are 9-1-0 in their last 10 games at the Prudential Center, and they’ve been very good at both ends of the ice through the early going. So have the Devils but against foes that are a combined 1-6-2 so far.

Add in some New Jersey injuries: chief among those is F Jack Hughes (dislocated shoulder). Hughes has figured in three of the team’s eight goals this season.

BACK THE CAPITALS (-140).

Against the spread

The Caps getting a combined 73 shots against Tampa Bay and Colorado makes for enough confidence in at least a partial-unit play on the puck line.

BACK WASHINGTON -1.5 (+175).

Over/Under

PASS. The lean is on the Under, but avoid the play unless the price comes down.
