Game Preview

The Washington Capitals will still have aspirations of finishing in the playoff spots in the Metropolitan Division. They come into this clash after winning five of their last ten, improving their overall record in the NHL to 35-27-8.

It is also worth noting that the Caps have recorded wins in each of their last two, highlighting their recent confidence. In their previous game, they battled to a 2-1 home win over the New Jersey Devils, with Aliaksei Protas and Ryan Leonard scoring the goals.

Home advantage has been a key factor in their success this term, as they have gone 20-11-4 at the Capital One Arena.

The Colorado Avalanche became the first team to hit 100 points on Friday evening when they eased to a straightforward success over the Chicago Blackhawks. Martin Necas was a standout performer in the success on the road, scoring once and registering two assists.

The Avalanche have already secured their spot in the playoffs, and no side in the Western Conference have scored more goals or conceded fewer at this stage. Their dominance has extended to their road games, with a record of 21-7-5 on the road.

Washington Capitals vs. Colorado Avalanche Picks

The Avalanche begin preparations ahead of the post season this weekend, but with no pressure on their shoulders, it could be worth chancing the home win based on their strong head-to-head advantage against their opponents.
