Our Penguins vs. Capitals predictions expect Washington to take down Pittsburgh in regulation.
Offseason moves have the Capitals looking great to start the season while the Pens continue to fade out of contention. Expect Washington to take care of business against its bitter rival.The Washington Capitals host the Pittsburgh Penguins at Capital One Arena on Friday, November 8, and longtime rival superstars Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby will go head-to-head again in their respective 20th tours through the NHL.
It was just the opposite for the Caps. The Washington brass was active this summer to bolster the roster, and the immediate returns have been rewarding. The Capitals are off to a 9-3 start and rolling at Capital One with a 7-1 home-ice record. Finally, I also value the Capitals having the superior goaltending with a .905 team SV% at 5-on-5 and .895 overall mark compared to the respective .888 and .882 ratios for the Pens.It’s been a breakout stretch for Caps winger Connor McMichael to start the season, as he’s showing off the offensive skill that made him a first-round pick in the 2019 draft and a consistent scorer in both the OHL and AHL.
