NJ Devils vs WAS Capitals Prediction: expect a total over

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on September 26. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

New Jersey spent last season far from the best level. The Devils failed to make the playoffs, ending up in 13th position in the standings in the East. In general, things are bad, but now the club is led by Sheldon Keefe, and in addition, the Devils have done a great job on the transfer market - probably this season they will be able to jump into the playoffs. However, New Jersey started the preseason poorly, losing to the Islanders (2:4) and Montreal (0:3).

Washington, in turn, somehow miraculously managed to make it to the playoffs at the end of the last campaign. The Capitals jumped literally in the last wagon, but there they were immediately knocked out by the Rangers, who took four games in a row. Washington also had a great offseason transfer campaign, but started the preseason in a disappointing way, losing to Philadelphia 2:6 and Boston 2:4.

We believe that in the upcoming meeting we should not get into the outcomes. After all, both teams are approaching the season in rather unclear conditions, and they started the preseason with defeats. At the same time, their face-to-face meetings now and then delight us with goals - in the last five there was a TO (5.5). New Jersey and Washington have something to prove, so we expect a total over here.
