It’s a packed NHL slate tonight, with 24 teams hitting the ice. There are some intriguing matchups on the schedule with the Stars taking on the Devils, the Islanders squaring off against the Bruins, and the Golden Knights going toe-to-toe with the Jets in Winnipeg.
There are plenty of ways to bet on tonight’s 12-game lineup, but I’ve narrowed in on these three wagers. And here’s a closer look at Capitals vs. Blackhawks.

Top 3 NHL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Capitals vs. Blackhawks
Alexander Ovechkin continues his chase for 800 goals in what’s currently the biggest story in the NHL. The star winger sits at 797 coming into tonight’s game with the Blackhawks. This one is set for 9:00 p.m. ET from the United Center in Chicago.
Similar to the Ducks, the Hawks have had issues scoring this season. That was a major concern entering the year, and this lackluster roster has come to fruition. Chicago currently ranks 30th in the league offensively (2.4 gpg), and their power play sits at 13th (23.5%). I don’t think they have the star power to keep pace with Washington tonight, so I’ll back the Caps on the puck line.
It’s confirmed that Petr Mrazek will start in net for the Hawks tonight, and he’s just 2-5-1 with 4.05 GAA and .884 SV%. The Capitals should have no issue finding the back of the net tonight, and I anticipate the Blackhawks having problems scoring on the other end. Let’s take the Capitals -1.5 here.
Bet: Washington Capitals -1.5 (+125 via DraftKings)
