The current betting odds have the Capitals listed as an underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. They have looked great in their games this season with their 47-15-8 record overall which has them right at the top of their division in the East with one of the best records in the entire NHL. They have also been a great road team this year with their 23-8-2 road record.

They have also looked great on home ice with their 25-6-4 home record this season. They have looked good lately, but they are only 6-4-0 in their last 10 games and now they are coming off a loss to the Sabres in their last one. They lost that game at home to one of the worst teams in the East and the Capitals can take advantage of them in a bit of a slump now. The Capitals have been really hot lately as they are 9-1-0 in their last 10 games and they have a ton of momentum on their side with 4 wins in a row. They are also going to be rested for this game and they are coming off a big win over the Panthers in their last one. The Capitals have been rolling lately and the Jets are the closest team to them in the full league standings so they are going to bring their best effort to show they are the best team in the NHL. The best way to place a bet here is on the Capitals to win this game.
