NHL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Golden Knights vs. Capitals (Tuesday)
We’re bringing in the new month with a stacked 12-game slate in the NHL tonight! The action gets underway with a trio of games at 7:00 p.m. ET and wraps up out west at 10:30 p.m. with a Pacific Division clash between the Ducks and Sharks. I’ve listed my top three wagers on the ice tonight. And let’s take a closer look at Golden Knights vs. Capitals.

NHL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Golden Knights vs. Capitals
The Golden Knights have been on an absolute tear to start the season, and they’ll try to keep things rolling as they open up a five-game road trip in the nation’s capital. They’ll take on a Caps team that’s 5-4-1 and coming off of a 3-2 shootout loss last night to the Hurricanes.
Since Washington is on the second night of a back-to-back, they’ll turn to Charlie Lindgren to handle the netminding tonight. The 28-year-old is 1-1-0 to start the year with a 3.09 GAA and .925 SV%. While those are pretty respectable numbers, I’ll always feel confident backing a team against a backup goalie – especially a team that’s as hot as Vegas.
The Golden Knights will go for their fifth straight win, and they’ve been getting it done on both ends of the ice. They’ve averaged 3.25 goals per game over the winning streak while allowing just 1.00. One of those wins was a 4-0 victory over the Ducks in which Logan Thompson recorded his second shutout of the season. He’s now 4-2-0 on the year with a 1.69 GAA and .943 SV%. All things considered, I like the Golden Knights to stay hot and get it done tonight.
Bet: Vegas Golden Knights Moneyline (-125 via Caesars)
