Capitals vs Senators Best Picks and Prediction
Two of the Senators' first three games ended in losses. They haven't had much success offensively, scoring only three goals in their last two games, with the exception of their victory over the Bruins. Expect them to struggle offensively here, as they haven't performed well on special teams and have only converted 12.5% of their Power Play opportunities.
The Capitals, meanwhile, have split their first four games, but their offensive performance has been excellent, scoring 13 goals. Additionally, they have performed well on special teams, converting 21.4% of their Power Play chances.
Expect the Senators struggle to slow down the Capitals, considering their poor penalty killing and defensive plays thus far. They have conceded at least three goals in three games. Cover the money line by moving with Washington.
Pick: Anton Forsberg Over 28.5 Saves (-120)
