Washington Capitals vs New Jersey Devils Betting Analysis

The New Jersey Devils have punched their ticket into the postseason for the first time in five years and even have a chance to go top of the division should the Carolina Hurricanes slip up in their final game against the Florida Panthers on Thursday.

The Washington Capitals meanwhile will miss the playoffs for the first time since 2014, a current run of just seven wins from their last 27 games in all playing a huge part in that absence.

However, the Capitals can still play spolier here on Thursday, just as they did against the New York Islanders on Monday night, and have a terrific recent head-to-head record against New Jersey as well, winning 16 of their last 21 meetings against the Devils in this venue.

New Jersey Dominant Away From Home

Only three teams in the league have been more profitable away from home for backers this season than the New Jersey Devils have, as their impressive 27-9-4 road record attests to.

The Devils’ defense has had a large part to do with those numbers as well, ranking top five in both shots allowed and opponent power-play goals, along with 3rd on defensive xGA also.

Hi-Octane Affairs In Capitals Games

There have been an average of 7.35 goals scored across each of the last 20 Washington Capitals’ games as matchups involving the Capitals continue to generate goals at both ends of the ice.

It’s no surprise therefore to see 12 of the Capitals’ last 15 games overall go Over the total as a result, including 6-1 against Metropolitan Division rivals as well, as Washington, while potent offensively themselves, have struggled to contain opposing offenses this season.

Washington Capitals vs New Jersey Devils Expert Prediction

While the greater need is with New Jersey here given they still have an outside shot of winning their division, this line is simply way too overpriced as a result, and we’re happy to take a piece of the Washington Capitals to play the spoiler role here on Thursday.

The Devils haven’t been great in games coming off big wins in their previous matchup either, going just 1-6 after scoring 5 or more goals in their previous game, and with Washington’s stellar head-to-head record against them in this venue also, we believe the value lies in taking the Capitals’ in this one on Thursday.

Take the Washington Capitals to get the outright win at home as big underdogs against the New Jersey Devils on Thursday.

Prediction: Washington Capitals (+145)
