Washington plays the night before and visits the third best power play
Washington hosts Philadelphia on Wednesday and plays in Nashville on Thursday, with Logan Thompson still day to day. Nashville's power play converts 33.3%, third in the NHL, and the Predators have four overtime or shootout losses. Eight of Washington's 10 games have had six or more goals. Kalshi has the Capitals at 52 cents and the Predators at 51.

- 44 of 86NHL games through Oct 11 with six or more goals (51%).
- 132 of 172Team-games with two or more goals (76.7%).
- 28Empty-net goals in 24 of 86 games. An under is never safe in the last two minutes.
Regis sits this one out, and here is his read
Nashville is strong on both special teams units, with its kill at 85.7%, 5th, while Washington's power play sits 23rd at 17.9%. The Predators are outshot 29.3 to 25.8 a game, so they lean on Juuse Saros, .908 over eight starts. Stats here run through Monday's games. Nashville hosts the Islanders on Tuesday and Washington hosts Philadelphia on Wednesday, and neither game is in these numbers.
I'm not posting a ticket on this game. I read Kalshi's full board Thursday morning and kept tonight's real money to the games where my two legs looked strongest; this one finished just outside that group, so this page is your scouting report instead. I'll keep watching the goalie news with you before the 5 PM PT puck drop.
- Steven Stamkos has 7 goals and 7 assists, and Ryan O'Reilly has 4 power-play goals.
- Roman Josi has 11 assists, and Filip Forsberg has 9.
- Alex Tuch leads Washington with 7 goals and scored twice against Buffalo, his old team, on Saturday.
- Dylan Strome had two goals and an assist on Saturday, and Ryan Leonard has 4 goals.
- Washington's Pierre-Luc Dubois returned from an illness on Oct. 24, and Vincent Desharnais (abdomen) is expected to miss four to six weeks.
- Six of Washington's 10 games and five of Nashville's 11 have had seven or more goals. Kalshi asks 54 cents for seven or more.

A struggling power play against one of the league's better kills. Little to expect here.
The power play ranks 10 places higher than the kill it faces.
