Capitals vs Jets Key Stats
Washington has picked up pace in the second half of the season, scoring over three goals per game. Most opportunities have been created and finished by Alex Ovechkin with 16 goals, who has also contributed 13 assists.
The defense has fairly done well to bring the season average of goals conceded to less than three per game. The goaltenders have fared well and will look to continue that.
Meanwhile, Winnipeg's offense has done a great job with contributions. Pierre-Luc Dubois and Mark Scheifele have boosted the team's goals tally to 87 goals in 26 games. Both players have over 13 goals, and the team will need them to continue their strong form.
Winnipeg's defense is another boost, conceding more than 2.5 goals per game on average this season.
Capitals vs Jets Betting Prediction
This game is going to be interesting, as both teams are coming in with a winning record and are ticking the right boxes. While Washington have played well, their vulnerability against stronger sides and away record could put them at a disadvantage.
The game could be decided on fine margins, and Winnipeg undoubtedly have an edge. Home advantage should help them beat Washington, who has fared poorly here.
