Red Wings vs. Capitals Prediction

I’m on the Capitals here. I get that this is a huge game for both teams in the grand scheme of things in the playoff picture, but you have a Red Wings team that’s been falling apart down the stretch, losing six straight road games against a Capitals team playing arguably their best hockey of the season. I just don’t think I want to step in front of Washington right now. Give me the Capitals.
