The Capitals are 9-2 in their last 11 games averaging 3.36 goals during this span. I see them skating past the Red Wings, who have yet to win in four tries when having one day rest between games.

Detroit is 1-3 in its last four home games. The Red Wings have managed just five goals in their last three games and are 0-3 at home when going against Washington goalie Braden Holtby.

The Capitals are 6-1-1 in their last eight games against the Red Wings, which includes going 3-0-1 at Joe Louis Arena.
