Capitals vs Predators Prediction, Odds & Props

No recommended play tonight.

The decider

The nets are about even — Thompson and Saros are both stopping about nine of ten — so goaltending is not the edge here.

The context

These two have been playing different games: Nashville's games are ordinary, Washington's are track meets. This bet is really a question of which pattern holds. Washington is putting 27.4 shots a game on net and finishing 12.4% of them.

Situational

Neither team is on a back-to-back and both had at least a day off; nothing here is worth adjusting for.
