Washington Capitals vs New Jersey Devils Prediction: Every Puck Is Meaningful

Prediction for the NHL Washington Capitals vs New Jersey Devils match which will take place on March 10th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

What do these changes in the lineup mean? First, Washington began to prepare for future restructuring gradually. And secondly, it isn't going to finish this season successfully anymore. Although after the deadline, the Capitals can qualify for the playoffs. That's just in the summary standings of the East. Peter Laviolette's team is currently only 12th. However, the difference from the wild card zone is only five points.

Washington played its last game in Los Angeles against the Kings. Alexander Ovechkin was at a Los Angeles Lakers basketball game the day before. It is unlikely that the Russian's trip to the basketball stopped his team from succeeding, but the Capitals lost 2:4. It was a very unsuccessful match for the Capitals team.

The Devils also lost the previous match, offensively losing to Toronto 3-4  – the Maple Leafs' winning puck scored into Vitek Vanecek's goal just three minutes before the final. Unlike Washington, this loss does not mean anything for New Jersey. Lindy Ruff's team confidently takes the playoff zone, the third place in the summary standings of the Eastern Conference. The first Stanley Cup draw for the Devils in the last few years is just around the corner.

New Jersey is almost in the playoffs and can confidently finish the regular season. For Washington, every puck is meaningful. Motivation can play a crucial role in the upcoming game and help the Capitals succeed. We are betting that Washington will score at least one point here and that the meeting will be productive. The main goalkeepers of the rivals, Darcy Kuemper and Vitek Vanecek, have regularly conceded three or more goals per match lately.
