Washington vs. New Jersey: NHL Match Prediction
Washington continues its home series of games without its captain. On November 24, the Capitals will play on home ice against guests from Newark. The day before, Spencer Carbery charges lost to Colorado and were unable to show good implementation of their moments. The Devils are trying in every way to stay among the conference leaders and so far Nico Hischier team has succeeded in this. Will the Devils be able to beat the decapitated hosts? We tell you about this in the forecast for the meeting
Command Analysis
Washington Capitals
USACurrent form
Washington played their first game without Alexander Ovechkin at the start of the home series and lost right away. The Capitals couldn't handle Colorado defense (1:2) and scored only one goal, although the hosts managed to do so at the very beginning of the game. Thus, the Capitals rolled back to third place in the East, remaining with 27 points after 19 games. Before the game against the Avalanche, Spencer Carbery charges demonstrated good performance and took points from Denver (5:2), Nevada (5:2) and Utah (6:2). Tom Wilson took the place of the team captain in the first five and made an assist, but this did not help the Caps take two points in the battle with the Avalanche.
The Washiki have demonstrated excellent realization of moments at this stage of the season, but after the injury of Ovi, everything can change. In five previous meetings, the team from the US capital has scored 20 accurate shots and only once scored less than three times in regulation time. Dylan Strome is the best scorer of the guests and occupies the tenth line in the league. The Canadian forward has 28 effective actions (6+22).
The Caps have allowed just 12 goals in their last five games and are averaging just 2.74 goals per game. Goalies Charlie Lindgren and Logan Thompson are both old, but they have a .903 save percentage. The latter has played one more game than his colleague, but it’s hard to call either one the Capitals’ number one goalie.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nicklas Backstrom, T.J. Oshie, Alexander Ovechkin and Sonny Milano will not take part in the upcoming match.
Interesting trends for betting
- Washington averages eight minutes of penalty time per game.
"Lice" are removed four times per game on average.
- The Capitals average at least 28 shots on goal.
The Capitals play well on offense, but they don’t try to take shots from any position.
New Jersey Devils
USACurrent form
New Jersey looks great in November and continues to consolidate its position among the conference leaders. The Newark club is currently in second place in the East with 28 points after 22 games. The visitors cannot relax, because their competitors are very close, and the Devils have played several games more than other clubs. The Devils' last trip began with victories over Florida (4:1 and 6:2), but then they suffered a crushing defeat in Tampa, failing to beat Andrei Vasilevskiy (0:4). Nico Hischier team confidently beat Carolina (4:2) on their home court and proved that they are in the top three for a reason. Sheldon Keefe team conceded at the start of the match, but quickly recovered and took the lead. In the third period, they finished off their opponents, scoring two unanswered goals.
The visitors have been playing great defense lately and have not conceded more than two goals per game in five games. Jacob Markstrom is experiencing a second youth and remains the number one goalie for New Jersey. The Swede has reflected 90.69% of shots on his goal and has one shutout in 15 games. Jake Allen is always ready to help his partner, especially since he plays a little worse, and in some ways even better.
Jesper Bratt leads the Newark team in scoring. The Swedish forward has 27 points (10+17) and is two points ahead of Jack Hughes, who has 25 points (8+17).
Disqualifications and injuries
Nathan Bastian and Curtis Lazarus won't be helping their partners in the US capital.
Interesting trends for betting
- On the road, New Jersey concedes an average of 2.64 goals per game.
The Devils play very strict defense on the road and rarely allow more than three goals in a game.
- The Devils are winning 50.7 percent of their faceoffs.
The visitors are doing well at the point and winning face-offs a little more often.
Trends
Bet 2nd period: New Jersey will not lose
The Devils have not lost in the second period in six straight games.
1.37Bet 3rd period: New Jersey to score
The Devils have scored in the third period in three of their last four games.
1.40Tip and bets
Washington continues to play without its leader and captain. In the first match of the home series, the Capitals were able to score only one goal, although previously the Capitals scored five goals per match. New Jersey has gained excellent form and is trying with all its might to maintain its position among the conference leaders. The Devils play great defense and are unlikely to allow the Washers to easily convert scoring opportunities. We think that the visitors will dominate on the court and achieve success within the regular time. We suggest betting on the Devils' victory with a zero handicap.
Prediction - New Jersey win with handicap (0) for 1.70
Bet on individual total
In our opinion, Washington won't be able to score many goals against New Jersey without Alexander Ovechkin. The Devils haven't conceded more than twice per game for five games in a row, and we're unlikely to see a repeat of one of the games between these clubs at the start of this season. We don't believe that the hosts will be able to score even three accurate shots.
We bet on Washington individual total under three goals for 1.63
Total Bet
New Jersey is very good in away defense and is unlikely to deviate from its usual style of play. Washington, without its captain, again sat down in defense and tried to catch the opponent on counterattacks. These teams played two matches this season with great results, but now everything should be different. Let play a bet on the total under goals.
We take the total under six pucks with a coefficient of 1.80
