💰 Capitals vs. Avalanche best bet today: Avalanche -1.5 (+118) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Check out all of our NHL analysis and expert predictions this season.
The Capitals have been one of the league's worst teams over their last 20 games and enter having lost five of their previous six head-to-head versus Colorado.
The Avalanche have been dynamite at Ball Arena, coming off just their first regulation home loss of the entire season. Look for the league's best team to get back on track on Monday.
Whether or not the injured Tom Wilson suits up today, the Capitals don't have the offensive firepower to keep up with the Avalanche in their barn. I'm backing Colorado to win by multiple goals at Caesars' +118 odds.
Score prediction: Avalanche 4, Capitals 2

🔥 Best Capitals vs. Avalanche prop bet: Brock Nelson anytime goal (+180) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Brock Nelson has been picking up the goal-scoring slack for a slumping Nathan MacKinnon as of late. He has an NHL-high 10 goals over his last nine games, trumping MacKinnon's five during that stretch.
We're being offered excellent +180 odds at FanDuel on a Nelson anytime goal this afternoon. I targeted three other skaters to light the lamp on Monday in my NHL anytime goal scorer predictions today.
