Game Prediction & Betting Odds
According to BetMGM, the Washington Capitals are -145 favorites, with the Over/Under set at 5.5 goals.
My Take:
Washington has the edge defensively and is playing at home, but St. Louis is coming off a morale-boosting win. With both teams missing key players, I expect a tight game. The Blues’ goaltending has been shaky, while the Caps have been solid in net. I’m leaning toward a 4–2 Capitals win, with the Over hitting late in the third.
