Prediction

The Red Wings have struggled so far this season and have been one of the worst defenses in the league allowing over 3.5 goals per game and were outscored by the Sabres 8-3 in their last game. The Capitals have been up and down so far this season but they have played better defense than Detroit and have lost their last 2 games in overtime. The Capitals shouldn't have any trouble to score on this game so I'll go with them to win this game.
