Capitals

Jets and Caps Set for Heavyweight Showdown in D.C.

Grade A-: Capitals Moneyline (-110)

The Capitals, with fantastic form of late, will put their home dominance to the test against a surging Jets squad that has won eight of its last ten. Washington’s offense continues to be fueled by Alex Ovechkin, who has a history of lighting up Winnipeg, while John Carlson’s ability to control the blue line will be key in limiting the Jets’ transition game. Meanwhile, Winnipeg boasts one of the NHL’s best goaltenders in Connor Hellebuyck, who has posted a .930 save percentage over his last five starts, making him a crucial factor in a tight contest. Both teams are jostling for playoff positioning, but with Washington’s momentum and home-ice advantage, they have the slight edge to extend their win streak.

Capitals Look to Dominate on Home Ice

Grade B+: Capitals Puckline -1.5 (+220)

The Capitals, winners of four straight, welcome a Jets squad that has been nearly as hot, taking six of its last seven. Alex Ovechkin continues to power Washington’s offense, while Evgeny Kuznetsov has found his playmaking stride, helping the Caps post some high-scoring wins. On the other side, Winnipeg leans heavily on Connor Hellebuyck, who has been outstanding in net, but the Jets’ defensive depth could be tested against one of the best home teams in the league. With both teams battling for top playoff positioning, Washington’s offensive firepower and recent dominance at home give them a strong chance to not only win but cover the puck line in a decisive victory.
