Caps Look a Great Bet to Land Victory

The -130 about the Capitals looks really attractive when it comes to the 3-Way Moneyline. We think the Red Wings can be beaten in regulation time, so this is our betting prediction.

Red Wings Too Strong for Caps in Last H2H

Detroit Red Wings have been defeated in four straight games. They were recently beaten at home to Utah Hockey Club by a 4-2 scoreline at Little Caesars Arena. Dylan Larkin and Jonatan Berggren scored one goal each.

Washington Capitals made it back-to-back wins in their last game. It was a 3-2 (OT) road triumph at Madison Square Garden when meeting New York Rangers. Alexander Ovechkin, Tom Wilson and Pierre-Luc Dubois scored one goal apiece.

The Red Wings had the edge in the most recent encounter between these teams. At Little Caesars Arena, they recorded a 4-2 win over the Caps. Both teams have five wins on the board when we look at the 10-game H2H record.
