Washington is home, making this a tough spot for Detroit, but the Red Wings are in desperation mode. Their power play is elite, ranking 3rd in the NHL at 28.3%. Larkin and Raymond lead the charge, combining for 39 power-play points. If they can capitalize on limited chances, Detroit has a shot. Washington’s PK (82.4%) is strong, but Detroit's execution is key. Goaltending could be the X-factor. Mrazek posted a shutout in his last outing, stopping all 18 shots vs. Vegas. While Washington has offensive firepower, they rank just 21st in shots per game (27.7). If Detroit limits Ovechkin’s opportunities, Mrazek can steal this one. Lyon (2.78 GAA, 90.0%) also gives them a solid backup option if needed. Washington is dominant at home, but Detroit’s urgency can’t be overlooked. The Capitals rely on their 3.63 goals/game (1st), but Detroit’s ability to control the pace could slow them down. Red Wings are 20th in scoring (2.85), but they make the most of limited shots. If they dictate tempo and stay out of the box, they can pull the upset.
