Ducks vs Capitals Betting Prediction
These are the two worst offenses in the NHL and it’s not going to be any different in this game. The Capitals are averaging 2.5 goals while the Capitals are averaging only 2.34 goals per game. I don’t see either team scoring more than two goals and that is going to be the difference here This game is going to stay under the total. I am also throwing a few dollars on under 4.5 goals to cash.
