Saros gets no help in 3-0 loss to Kings
Juuse Saros stopped 24 of 26 shots in Monday’s 3-0 loss to the Kings. The Predators managed only 16 shots on the night, so while Saros played well, he had no margin for error. The 29-year-old goalie’s 3-6-1 record through 10 starts owes more to his struggling offense than his own performance. Although his 2.83 GAA and .902 save percentage through 10 outings this season isn’t ideal, he’s being dragged down by two rough starts — the 29-year-old has allowed three or fewer goals in his other eight appearances.
Ovechkin scores power play goal
Alex Ovechkin scored a power-play goal in Sunday’s 4-2 loss to Carolina. Ovechkin scored his seventh goal of the season from his vintage spot on the man advantage in the first period to tie the game at 1-1. It was his first power-play marker of the 2024-25 campaign. The 39-year-old winger has racked up five goals and four assists during his current four-game point streak. Ovechkin is second on the team in points with 14 (seven goals, seven assists) through 11 games, trailing only Dylan Strome (17).
Predators vs. Capitals Betting Prediction
Take Washington. The Predators have won seven out of their last 10 games versus the Capitals but this Washington team is rolling. I know the Caps just lost to the Hurricanes 4-2 in Carolina, but they’ve won three out of their last four games overall. In that span, they scored 5, 6 and 7 goals, respectively, before mustering only two goals against Carolina, which is one of the top teams in the NHL.
As for the Preds, they were just shutout by the Kings 3-0. That was one of three losses in their last four games overall.
Predators vs. Capitals Prediction: Washington Capitals -120
