The final game of NHL predictions has the Washington Capitals visit the Edmonton Oilers. Washington is expected to give Charlie Lindgren the start in the blue paint. The Capitals are 4-6 in their last 10 games but did beat the Calgary Flames on Friday night. Alex Ovechkin and Tom Wilson are tied for the team’s lead in points with 44.

Connor Ingram is the probable starter for the Oilers, who are 5-3-2 in their last 10 games. However, Edmonton has dropped its last two games entering this matchup. Despite the loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Oilers did get Leon Draisaitl back last game. Connor McDavid leads the team in goals (30), assists (55), and points (85).

Washington is coming off a game on Friday night against Calgary. However, the Capitals should get the victory.

Prediction: Capitals win 5-3.
