Kraken vs Capitals Pick
Money Line Pick For Kraken vs Capitals
- Capitals -1.5 (-110) (4 units)
The Kraken are having a great season but the Capitals look to take advantage of a team playing the second game of a back-to-back. The Capitals should create plenty of scoring chances with Tom Wilson, Dylan Strome, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Capitals, who allow only 2.00 goals per game, should limit the Kraken offense with Jakob Chychrun, Rasmus Sandin, 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 Capitals should win the game with a strong performance on their home ice.
Take the Capitals money line as home Favorites.
Over/Under Pick For Kraken vs Capitals
- Under 6 (5 Units)
Both teams have great defenses that look to make this game a low-scoring one from the first period.

The Capitals, who have allowed only nine goals in their last five games, should eliminate and potentially shut out the Kraken with John Carlson, Rasmus Sandin, Jakob Chychrun, and the rest of the defensive unit forcing turnovers in all three zones while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Logan Thompson to make plenty of big saves. The Under should cover in a low-scoring game with both defenses stepping up.
