Free Arizona Coyotes vs. Washington Capitals NHL Prediction:

The Coyotes have a 2-1-1 record in their previous three games against Washington. The Coyotes have been able to score an average of 3.00 goals per game during the span while allowing 2.33.

Arizona has found the back of the net on three of their 10 power-play opportunities during the three games while defending the net each of the five times they have been forced to skate shorthanded.

That was then and this is now. Washington is currently scoring over four goals per game and have been solid on the power-play this year with a 25.0 conversion rate.

I have hesitated to take the Caps with Holtby in the net but I think Washington scores enough to get the win in this one. I think the winning streak continues.
