New York Rangers vs Washington Capitals Prediction

The Washington Capitals continue to surprise with some nice wins, and they’re worth a look at the plus-money price. The problem is the Rangers have been equally impressive, they’re the more talented team, and they’ve won 8 of the last 10 games against the Capitals, games that often haven’t been competitive. The Rangers are also unbeaten on the road through four games. Statement game for the Capitals, but I’ll lay the juice with the more trustworthy team in the Rangers.
