Washington vs New Jersey Prediction: 3rd Win for the Devils

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Washington Capitals vs New Jersey Devils, which will take place on October 13th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Washington had a great end to last season. On the other hand, expectations for the Capitals are pretty low at the moment, so making it to the playoffs was already a big achievement. The other thing is that the Rangers trounced Ovechkin's team in four games. Washington hasn't played a game in the new season yet, but during the preseason they managed three wins and three losses in six games.

New Jersey didn't make the playoffs last season, so the Devils' main goal this time around is to make it in. After a fairly slow preseason, the team got off to a great start in the NHL regular season. The team also had two wins in Prague against Buffalo, with a 4-1 and a 3-1 score. Back in the United States, New Jersey lost to Toronto (2-4).

It's no surprise that bookmakers have New Jersey as the favourite for the upcoming match. The Devils played really well against Buffalo and held their own against Toronto. Plus, they're already in fighting mode, while Washington hasn't played a single official game yet. We think the visitors will earn two points in the upcoming game.
