TV: Monument Sports Network; Fan Duel Sports South; ESPN+
Our opening game of NHL predictions has the Washington Capitals hosting the Nashville Predators. Juuse Saros is expected to get the call for the game for the Predators, who were shutout in the last game against the Los Angeles Kings. Filip Forsberg is first on the team in goals (6) and points (10) on the team.
Washington is expected to go with Charlie Lindgren in goal, but always check social media before locking in a fantasy goalie. Alex Ovechkin has been heating up as he leads the team with seven goals. Dylan Strome is first on the club in points with 17 this campaign.
