The Vegas Golden Knights and the Washington Capitals meet in NHL action from the Capital One Arena on Tuesday night.
The Vegas Golden Knights will be out to build on their 2-1 OT win over Winnipeg last time out for their 4th straight win. Jack Eichel leads the Golden Knights with 10 points including 4 goals and a team-high 6 assists while Chandler Stephenson, Mark Stone and Jonathan Marchessault each have 8 points with Stephenson’s points split between 4 goals and 4 assists while Stone has 5 assists and Marchessault has a team-high 5 goals this season. Logan Thompson’s gone 4-2 with a 1.69 GAA and a .943 save percentage while Adin Hill is 4-0 with a 1.72 GAA and a .940 save percentage as well this season.
The Washington Capitals will try to bounce back on a quick turnaround after a 3-2 loss to Carolina last time out. Heading into Monday’s game, Alex Ovechkin has a team-high 7 points with a team-high 4 goals and 3 assists. Dylan Strome, Conor Sheary, John Carlson and Nick Jensen each have 6 points with Strome and Jensen each logging 5 assists while Carlson has 4 assists and Sheary also has a team-high 4 goals. Dmitry Orlov also have 5 assists as well this season. Darcy Kuemper has gone 4-3 with a 2.47 GAA and an .919 save percentage while Charlie Lindgren is 1-1 with a 3.09 GAA and a .925 save percentage this season.
Vegas is 4-1 in their last 5 road games and 5-1 in their last 6 games against a team with a winning record while the under is 5-0-2 in their last 7 games overall. Washington is 5-2 in their last 7 games overall and 4-1 in their last 5 games against the Western Conference while the over is 8-0 in their last 8 games against the Pacific division.
I get the case to be made either way here, but I’m looking at Vegas in this one. The Caps are on a back-to-back after a tough game in Carolina that needed overtime and now the Golden Knights are simply the more well rested team here and I think they get the job done on the road in this one. Give me the Golden Knights.
