Winnipeg Jets vs Washington Capitals Prediction

This a heavyweight battle and one that should be quite the battle. These are both elite offenses, but I trust both of the goaltending more. Look for the goaltending to both be strong here. Goals and shots on goal is going to be a problem here for both teams and with bad quality scoring chances for both teams. Neither team is going to score more than two goals and this game is going to end up staying under the total.
