How to watch Washington Capitals vs Winnipeg Jets TV channel, start time, odds

Here’s how you can watch the NHL stream of the Washington Capitals vs Winnipeg Jets as things heat up ahead of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Now that we’re in the final quarter of the 2020 NHL season, the pressure is being turned up. The real contenders for the Stanley Cup are refining things while everyone else is struggling to keep up. You can watch the Washington Capitals square off against the Winnipeg Jets live on ESPN+.

The Jets are in a three-game losing stream right now, capped by their 4-3 loss to the Capitals on Tuesday. With a wild-card spot still firmly up for grabs, Winnipeg is going to have to pick up the slack and some wins to guarantee themselves a place in the playoffs.

Washington seems to finally be over what they hope was just a hiccup, losing four straight games before picking up back-to-back wins over the Pittsburgh Penguins and Jets. A playoff spot is the Capitals’ to lose right now as they sit atop the Metropolitan Division and third in the Eastern Conference, but they could definitely use more of a tune-up before the playoffs start if they want to truly make a run at the Stanley Cup.

Prediction

Jets 3, Capitals 2

Moneyline (ML)

The JETS (+125) have dropped two in a row, including the first half of this home-and-home with the Capitals (-154) Tuesday, but they shouldn’t be such big underdogs after going to a shootout two days ago. Winnipeg is 6-4-1 over its last 11 games, while Washington has won two in a row after snapping out of a season-high four-game losing skid.

The Jets are a lackluster 16-14-3 at home for the season and the Caps are 21-9-1 on the road, but the value’s on the hosts at plus-money.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Jets to win in regulation, overtime or a shootout returns a profit of $12.50 while the same wager on the Caps nets just $6.50 in profit with a win for Washington.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Double down on the JETS (+1.5, -200) with the goal of insurance. The Jets are just 15-18 against the spread at home, but the bulk of those games came with them being favored and needing to win by at least 2 goals for the cover. The Caps (-1.5, +165) are 21-10 ATS on the road.

Just two of the Jets’ last eight losses came by multi-goal margins. Only one of the Caps’ last three wins was by 2 or more goals.

Over/Under (O/U)

Take the UNDER 6.5 (-150). The Over (+125) is far more profitable, but the Jets are 4-5-1 against the O/U across their last 10 games and the Caps are 5-5 against the O/U across the same span.
