The Washington Capitals have been flying as of late and have won their last 4 games on the trot with the last three games being in convincing fashion.
[dfads params=’groups=234&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
The Oilers have been very solid this year, but have had it tough in their last last two games falling to both the Jets and the Wild.
Washington Capitals
The Capitals were mighty impressive in their last game at the Calgary Flames where they ended up picking up the road win by a score of 5-3. Holtby had a pretty solid game in stopping 32 of 35 shots that the Flames shot his way which was good for a .913 save percentage.
Despite having a good game last time out Holtby has struggled on the season allowing 3.6 goals per game and only has a .884% save percentage.
Alex Ovechkin had a goal and an assists in that win over Calgary and he does not seem to be slowing down at all at the age of 34. He has 7 goals and 5 assists in 11 games and should have a decent chance of finding the back of the net in this game against the Oilers which I think will end up being a high scoring affair.
Edmonton Oilers
The Oilers will be looking to bounceback at home in this one as they had absolutely no life in that last game against the Minnesota Wild. This is a much tougher spot, though, as the Washington Capitals have been awesome so far this year and possess one of the NHL’s most dangerous offenses.

Free Washington Capitals vs. Edmonton Oilers NHL Prediction:
These teams both have incredible firepower on offense and Holtby has not been on top of his game so far this year. I think the over/under number of 6 that is posted at the moment is very fair and think that this game goes over that number.
