Capitals vs Canadiens prediction
Capitals vs Canadiens best bet: Noah Dobson Over 0.5 assists (+185)
Noah Dobson has been a tremendous addition to the Montreal Canadiens, collecting 40 points this season. That includes 28 assists, and he’s been handing out helpers left and right lately.
The 26-year-old has cashed the Over in assists in four of his last six appearances, compiling six helpers during that span. He’s only one assist off last season’s total.
While he’s done most of his damage on the road, Dobson is thriving at the moment as a passer. He’ll stay hot tonight against the Washington Capitals.
Capitals vs Canadiens same-game parlay
Cole Caufield is third in the NHL in goals with 33. He’s been one of the Canadiens’ top players this season, and he’s scored 14 of his goals in 29 home contests.
The 25-year-old found the back of the net in the first game back from the break against the New York Islanders, and Caufield has scored three goals across his previous four appearances.
While the Habs have lost both matchups to the Caps this season, the last one was a 3-2 OT defeat, and Montreal is coming off a similar result against the Isles at home.
