New Jersey is led by a great offense

The Devils are having a great season with their offense leading the way, scoring 3.35 goals per game, with four goals in the recent game. Jack Hughes, Jesper Bratt, and Dawson Mercer have combined for 24 goals and 28 assists to lead the top two lines, but the rest of the offense has been great as well. Timo Meier, Nico Hischier, and Arseny Gritsyuk have combined for 11 goals and 23 assists, while defensemen Luke Hughes and Simon Nemec have added four goals and 17 assists from the point to open up the offense.

The offense has stepped up, but the defense has also played well, allowing only 2.94 goals per game. Hughes and Nemec have combined for 2.1 defensive point shares, while Jonas Seigenthaler and Dougie Hamilton have combined for 1.5 defensive point shares to add depth to the unit. The hope is that goaltender Jacob Markstrom improves as he’s struggled with a .870 save percentage and a 3.67 goals-against average on 207 shots with -5.7 goals saved above average.

Capitals hope offense improves

Tom Wilson and Dylan Strome have combined for 14 goals and 18 assists but the rest of the offense has struggled. Only three skaters have five goals or more and opponents can limit the top-heavy offense as a result.

The offense has struggled but the defense has kept them competitive, allowing only 2.59 goals per game. Jakob Chychrun and Matt Roy have combined for 2.7 defensive point shares while Martin Fehervary, John Carlson, and Rasmus Sandin have combined for 2.8 defensive point shares to add depth to the unit. In addition, goaltender Logan Thompson has been incredible with a .923 save percentage and a 1.85 goals-against average on 287 shots with 7.6 goals saved above average.

Devils vs Capitals Pick

Money Line Pick For Devils vs Capitals

  • Devils (-130) (4 units)

The Devils are having a great season, and they look to take over this game from the first period. The Devils, who average 3.35 goals per game, should pile on the goals with Jack Hughes, Jesper Bratt, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Devils should limit the Capitals' offense with Luke Hughes, Simon Nemec, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Jacob Markstrom to make plenty of big saves. The Devils should win the game with a strong performance on the road.

Take the Devils money line as road Favorites.

Over/Under Pick For Devils vs Capitals

  • Under 6 (5 Units)

The Devils and Capitals have great defenses that look to make this game a low-scoring one from the opening puck drop. The Capitals, who allow only 2.59 goals per game, should limit the Devils' offense with Jakob Chychrun, John Carlson, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Logan Thompson to make plenty of big saves. The Devils, who allow only 2.94 goals per game, should eliminate the Capitals' offense, which averages only 2.88 goals per game, with Luke Hughes, Simon Nemec, Dougie Hamilton, and the rest of the defensive unit forcing turnovers in all three zones while goaltender Jacob Markstrom blanks the shots on the net. The Under should cover in a low-scoring game with both defenses stepping up.

Take the Under on 6 goals.
