Capitals vs Jets Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this contest leading each of their divisions, so this should be a great game to watch. Washington is 23-8-2 on the road this year, while Winnipeg is 25-6-4 at home. The Jets have been a little inconsistent in recent games, but they have been very good with Hellebuyck in the net. The Capitals have won four games in a row, and they have allowed two goals or fewer in three of those games. I do think Washington is playing the better hockey right now, but I can’t go against Winnipeg at home with Hellebuyck in the net. Take the Jets to get the big win.
