Our second game of NHL predictions has the Washington Capitals seeking the season sweep over the Montreal Canadiens. Charlie Lindgren will likely get the start after Logan Thompson got the start against the Vegas Golen Knights. The Capitals are 7-2-1 in their previous 10 games, including wins in six of the last seven games. Tom Wilson is first on the team in goals (23) and points (49) so far this campaign.
Jakub Dobes is the projected starter for the Canadiens, who are 6-2-2 in their last 10 games. However, the Habs have dropped two of their last three games entering this Saturday night contest. Olympic snub Cole Caufield leads the team in goals so far with 33.
Montreal is looking to prevent the season sweep. The Habs should be able to take advantage of the Capitals having to play the night before.
Prediction: Canadiens win 4-3.
