The Capitals returned home for just a single game, and are now back on the road again. At 5-8, they aren't the best of road teams this year, and they face a very tough Jets team who are 10-3 at home. With Kuemper out to injury, Lindgren has filled in, often admirably. He'll face tough competition in the net from the Jets' stellar goal-tender Hellebuyck. The Capitals have a long list of players out to injury at the moment, and struggle to score this year, with just a 27th ranked offense and 21st PP. The Jets are 8-2 L10, healthier, and very tough on defense, but also overachieving on offense, with a goals-for average of nearly 5 in those 8 wins.
Wager on the high-flying Jets to keep up those winning ways today.
