Washington Capitals (3-1-0) and Minnesota Wild (2-2-0) will lock horns on Friday night at Capital One Arena. The Capitals have enjoyed a bright start to the season, sitting in the second spot in the Metropolitan Division with six points. That’s the same number of points as the Hurricanes, who are yet to taste defeat this season. The Capitals will look to continue their three-game winning streak, with their latest assignment ending in a 3-2 overtime win over the Lightning.
Minnesota Wild, meanwhile, have blown hot and cold this season. They sit at the bottom of the stacked Central Division with four points, three points behind the leaders, the Avalanche. They failed to build on their 4-3 win over the Kings after losing 5-2 to the Stars on the road on Tuesday night. Their head coach, John Hynes, will be eager to see his charges string together a few wins and keep up with the pace.

Our Minnesota Wild vs Washington Capitals Prediction
Washington Capitals are the betting favorites, following their impressive start to the season. However, they must start scoring goals to defeat dangerous opponents like the Wild. The Capitals have scored an average of 2.25 goals per contest so far, which is lower than Minnesota’s 3.5 goals. They have also struggled against Minnesota lately, winning just once in the last eight meetings. However, Minnesota hasn’t looked comfortable in defense this season, giving up an average of 3.75 goals. We expect the Capitals to maximize this weakness and edge them out in a thrilling affair.
Our prediction for Washington Capitals vs Minnesota Wild: Over 5.5 goals.
