Utah Hockey Club vs Washington Capitals Prediction

I’m on the Capitals here. Utah’s issue this season has been defense and goaltending as they’re giving up 4 or 5 goals a night more often than not. The Capitals are firing on all cylinders offensively right now and to be honest, are not a team I’m looking to step in front of. Give me the Capitals here.
