Red Wings vs. Capitals: Predictions, Odds, Lines, and Picks - December 19, 2022

The Detroit Red Wings head to the nation's capital to take on the Washington Capitals in tonight's feature match-up.

After appearing as though they had finally begun to put things together, the Red Wings have been railroaded in their last four games.

Detroit is coming off a 3-6 loss against one of the worst teams in the league in the Senators. Prior to that, they had managed just two goals in three games; the Carolina Hurricanes shut them out.

They will try to rebound against the Capitals tonight, but it's extremely unlikely.

Fans have been tuning in to the Capitals' games to watch Alexander Ovechkin chase history, but they have been treated to some great games as Washington have won six of their last seven. This team should keep rolling against Detriot.

Red Wings vs. Capitals Best Picks

Alex Ovechkin is one goal behind Gordie Howe as the second-highest all-time scorer in the NHL. With Washington playing their next game away in Ottawa, Ovi would love to notch the tying and surpassing goal here in front of the home crowd.

He failed to notch a point on Saturday, but should see plenty of opportunities in tonight's game. One goal is a given, but bettors may even bet on him to score twice.

Red Wings vs. Capitals Prediction

As previously stated, this should be an easy spot for Washington to pick up another win. Detroit is struggling, and the Capitals have been tremendous at home.

While Detroit was hoping to have Darcy Kuemper today, it looks like Washington will have Charlie Lindgren in the net. So given the payout that comes with DC's puck line. It's a smart play for bettors in this one.

Ville Husso is having a solid season, but he's been cold of late. Adding Washington's scoring rate to that, the over/under is a hard line to predict in this one. While an edge belongs to the under, bettors may way to steer clear of this one.
