Our final featured game of NHL predictions has the Washington Capitals going for the season sweep over the Minnesota Wild. Logan Thompson is projected to start for Washington, which is 7-1-2 in the previous 10 games. However, the Capitals have dropped three of their last four games entering this matchup. Tom Wilson leads the team in goals (17) and points (32) so far this season.
Jesper Wallstedt is the probable starter for the Wild, who are 7-2-1 in the last 10 games. This includes wins in four consecutive games. Minnesota has decided to go for it in a push to make a deep Stanley Cup playoff run. Quinn Hughes scored in his Wild debut against the Boston Bruins. Matt Boldy and Kirill Kaprizov are tied for the team’s lead in points with 37.
Both teams are looking to be contenders, but Minnesota should get revenge for a 5-1 loss earlier in the season.
Prediction: Wild win 4-3.
