Capitals vs Red Wings Predictions, Picks, and Odds for Tonight’s NHL Game

The Capitals' fall from grace continued when they lost in overtime the last time out for their sixth straight loss. Their offense has looked horrendous during this slide, and our NHL picks don't think things will get easier against the Red Wings.

Since that win, Washington has gone 0-5-1 while being outscored 20-8 — not exactly ideal for a team looking to make it into the postseason. The offense has completely dried up and has shown no signs of life over the last two weeks. Washington's 135 goals at 5-on-5 already put it at 28th in the NHL, so now with the team struggling a man up, the opportunities for offense are fading. Scoring was never their strong suit, but this lull is even worse than anticipated and I don't think the Caps can break out of this slump so easily — especially tonight with so much on the line.

This game means everything to the Caps' playoff hopes, so expect their captain to see plenty of ice time as he tries to land his team the victory — and also secure the 18th 30-goal season of his career.The Capitals opened up as +128 underdogs and remain around that number, with the shortest price being +115.
