The Washington Capitals will look to halt a worrying skid when they host the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday evening in Washington. After a promising start to the season, the Capitals have seen their early momentum fade, dropping four straight games. During that stretch, they were outscored heavily and struggled to sustain offensive pressure, scoring only five goals in those contests. Their inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities has been the most noticeable issue, particularly for a team that once ranked among the league's most dangerous on offense.
The Blues arrive in Washington in a somewhat similar position, having just snapped a seven-game winless streak with a hard-fought victory over Edmonton. That comeback win was exactly the kind of morale boost the team needed after a frustrating run of games that saw defensive breakdowns and a lack of finish in front of goal. For much of the season, the Blues have found themselves in close games but unable to close them out.
Their overall record remains below .500, and they've been outscored by a notable margin, yet their recent defensive tightening and renewed resilience have offered reasons for optimism. The win against the Oilers showcased an improved commitment to team defense and gave St. Louis hope that consistency may finally be within reach.

Our St. Louis Blues vs Washington Capitals Prediction
As the Capitals search for goals, the focus inevitably turns to their captain. Alex Ovechkin, typically the heartbeat of Washington's offense, has endured an uncharacteristically quiet spell. Despite generating plenty of shots, he has found the net only twice this season and now sits on the brink of a major career milestone. His determination to end the drought could play a defining role in this matchup.
Defensively, Washington remains competitive and has managed to keep opponents' goal totals reasonable, but with limited offensive support, their record has slipped. A return to home ice could provide a spark, but rediscovering their scoring touch will be key to getting back on track.
For the Blues, much depends on the performances of Jordan Kyrou and Robert Thomas. Kyrou's speed and puck control make him a constant threat, while Thomas's return from injury has revitalized the team's top line. Thomas's ability to create plays and distribute the puck has immediately added balance to the attack. If Ovechkin can ignite the offense, the Capitals are likely to edge a close, hard-fought game. Our prediction for Washington Capitals vs. St. Louis Blues: Under 6.5 goals.
