Washington comes into this game with a 24-17-6 record overall and they have gone 11-9-3 away from home. In the last game against the Minnesota Wild, the defense gave up four goals and that led to the two goal defeat. The Capitals are averaging 3.19 goals while their defense is giving up 2.78 goals per game. Alex Ovechkin has scored 30 goals and added 20 assists. In this game, the defense is going to need to step up or it’s going to be a long game. 

Coyotes Preview

In the last game against the Detroit Red Wings it took a shootout but they were able to secure the victory. They were able to come back from two goals down in the third quarter. The Coyotes are averaging 2.66 goals while their defense is giving up 3.61 goals per game. The offense is ranked 28th and will need to be better here. Clayton Keller has scored 15 goals and added 23 assists. 

Capitals and Coyotes Trends

The Capitals are 8-1 in their last nine road games. The Capitals are 2-11 in their last 13 games on Thursday. The over is 4-0 in the Coyotes last four games following a win. The over is 6-1 in the Coyotes last seven games against the Eastern Conference. 

Pick

The Capitals defense really struggled in the last game but it’s going to be much better against a Coyotes team that has really struggled to score. Look for Arizona to only score a goal or be shutout and that is going to be the difference here as Washington is going to get the job done. Back Washington on the puck line to cash here.
