Capitals vs. Predators Preview
The Capitals (7-4-0) came into the season with Stanley Cup aspirations. They're starting to kick it into high gear, winning two in a row, including a convincing victory over the Flyers in their last game. Meanwhile, the Predators (4-3-5) are a bubble team fighting for a playoff spot at best.
Nashville has lost three of its last four games, including a 6-0 blowout against the Bruins on Oct. 22. Facing a Capitals team that is deep up front could make this a difficult spot for them.
I love getting the Capitals as short underdogs here. We get a discount because Charlie Lindgren is expected to start instead of Logan Thompson. I know it's a downgrade in goal, but I can't pass up getting the better team as underdogs. I'll ride with the Capitals ML here.
Best Bet: Capitals ML (-110, FanDuel)
