New Jersey vs Washington: prediction for the NHL game
The Devils and the Capitals lock horns in the NHL game on Monday night. What to expect from this fixture? Look out for our prediction below.
Command Analysis
New Jersey Devils
USANew Jersey started the new season with two losses, but the team quickly bounced back and mounted a three-game winning streak. The Devils beat Anaheim (4:2) at home and triumphed over the Islanders (4:1) in New York. After that, they returned to their home arena and defeated San Jose (2:1). The Devils were solid on defense in all three games, conceding no more than two goals. Lindy Ruff's side will be aiming to get into the playoffs this season.
Washington Capitals
USAAs for Washington, currently they are in poor form. The Capitals lost three out of six games, which is not good enough for a team that intends to compete for the Stanley Cup. We doubt that Washinton will be able to become the leaders in the East. For instance, they don't have a strong goaltender. After Ilya Samsonov left the club, Darcy Kuemper became the main goalie, but he has been unreliable so far. In the last two games, Laviolette's men lost to Ottawa (2:5) and prevailed over Los Angeles (4:3).
