Capitals Off to a Hot Start
Alright, let’s get into this action. Take a look at this Washington team—they’re playing great hockey to start the season. The team is rallying behind Ovechkin, trying to help him break the record, and it’s clearly working. Who knew that Strome and Ovechkin would turn out to be such a great combination? But hey, it’s paying off big time for Washington early this season.
For this matchup, it should be Lindgren getting the start for the Capitals, while Adin Hill is expected in goal for Vegas.
Capitals vs. Golden Knights Betting Insight
What have the Capitals done so far? Well, they’re 5-0 against Western Conference opponents this season, averaging 4.6 goals per game and allowing only 1.8. They’re playing incredible hockey.
Now, let’s look at Vegas. At home, they average five goals per game but haven’t fared as well against Eastern Conference teams, going just 1-3-1 in those matchups this season. While Vegas does play better hockey at home, I like the plus price on this Washington Capitals team to come into Vegas and steal a win. Take Washington in this one on Sunday.
