Capitals at Canucks | OddsShark Matchup Report

The Canucks bounced back nicely from a 1-0 loss on the road to the New Jersey Devils with wins over the New York Rangers and Detroit Red Wings, closing out their four-game road trip with a 3-1 record. Through their first nine games of the 2018-19 season, the Canucks are tied for the league lead in goals against average with an impressive 2.11 mark. Jacob Markstrom and Thatcher Demko have combined to stop 265 of the 283 shots they have faced for a .936 save percentage thus far.
Vancouver returns home on Friday, where the team is 3-0 through the first three games of this season and 6-0 in its last six home games overall per the OddsShark NHL Database.
This Vancouver defence will be put to the test against the Capitals, who rank third in the NHL in goals for this season averaging 3.67 goals per game. John Carlson is off to a red-hot start with five goals and 16 assists through Washington’s first 12 games while Alexander Ovechkin (nine goals) and T.J. Oshie (seven goals) are leading the team in goals. The Capitals lost in overtime to the Oilers on Thursday night, snapping a four-game win streak and falling to 7-2-3 on the season.
Friday night’s total is set at 6.5 goals at online sports betting sites. The OVER is a perfect 6-0 in Washington’s last six games with all six of those games producing at least seven total goals.
Washington’s offence hasn’t scored less than three goals in any of the team’s last nine games, averaging 4.11 goals per game over that stretch. Vancouver’s defence has allowed two goals or less in six of its last seven games with a 1.86 goals against average over that run. Something will have to give in this one.
