The Detroit Red Wings go on the road to face the Washington Capitals in a pivotal Eastern Conference matchup with huge playoff implications. Detroit is outside of the final playoff spot in the East, just one point back of Washington. The Red Wings are 3-9 in their last 12 games.
The Red Wings are 15-18-1 on the road, and they are putting up 3.38 goals per game and giving up 3.32 goals per game. The Capitals are 19-11-5 at home. The Capitals are putting up just 2.71 goals per game while giving up 3.10 goals per game. There is just one point separating the two teams. Washington is playing better hockey as of late and I think their goaltending and defense should be able to limit Detroit's offense. I don’t like the way Detroit has been playing and like the Capitals to take this one at home.

Play on Washington. This is a 3% play
