Game Preview
The Anaheim Ducks will be back in action at the Honda Center on Friday, as they chase an immediate return to form following a recent defeat. The Ducks continue to sit top of the Pacific Division, but they have dropped to 5-5-0 across their last ten games in the competition, allowing the Vegas Golden Knights to close to within a point.
A quick response will be expected from the Ducks this weekend, as they were swatted aside by the Utah Mammoth in their latest outing, shipping a remarkable seven goals. The defeat means that the Ducks have now gone 9-4-0 across their games at home this season.
The Washington Capitals will be a fierce opponent in this clash, as they come into this round after winning each of their last six, and nine of their last ten. That run of form has enabled them to open up an advantage at the top of the Metropolitan Division, and they are currently the in-form team across the whole of the NHL.
The Caps will be extremely confident following a dominant 7-1 win over the San Jose Sharks in their latest game, scoring four inside the opening period. Alexander Ovechkin and Ryan Leonard both scored two goals apiece in that success.
Capitals vs. Ducks Picks
The Capitals have been going along nicely in the NHL in recent weeks, and that look good value to maintain their winning sequence on the road this week. Therefore, the value in the betting is with the Caps.
