Analysis and forecast for the NHL New Jersey Devils – Washington Capitals match (10/20/2024)
The 108th NHL season is gaining momentum. On October 20 there will be many interesting meetings. Among others, the match stands out in which the locals “New Jersey” and “Washington” will face each other on the ice of the Prudential Center stadium in Newark. The first confrontation is scheduled for 2:00 Moscow time.
New Jersey is off to a great start to the season. The reinforcement of the squad and the appointment of Sheldon Keefe is bearing fruit. The Devils won five of seven games in regulation. They defeated Buffalo (4-1 and 3-1), as did Washington (5-3), showing the character of Utah (3-0) and Ottawa (3-1).
“Creamy” will not experience problems:
Celta-Real Madrid. The difficulties will strengthen Bellingham, Junior and Mbappé
It should be noted that Keefe’s team beat the Capitals on the road. And in that game, New Jersey’s top star, Jack Hughes, did not score a point. The talented 23-year-old forward, who missed the rest of last season due to injury, is slowly improving.
The Devils’ preseason was alarming with poor results, but in the end Keefe managed to prepare the team well for the regular season. Most of New Jersey’s top hockey players are in excellent shape. The others, especially Hughes, are slowly getting into the rhythm.
The Devils only have difficulties in games against clubs that have an even more powerful squad. “New Jersey” confidently defeats the middle peasants and outsiders. Sheldon Keefe will continue to build on his success. His team has created a good foundation to get a place in the playoffs. We need to continue with the same spirit.
Washington, oddly enough, has so far also indicated its desire to compete for the Stanley Cup. Perestroika does not prevent Spencer Carbery from delighting fans with sensational victories. After losing to New Jersey (3-5), its players defeated Vegas (4-2) and Dallas (3-2).
The only bad thing is that Alexander Ovechkin doesn’t warm up. So far, the Russian has no goals scored. To repeat Wayne Gretzky’s record, he needs to score 41 goals. You might think that the captain of the “capital” team completely forgot about the great chase. In the meeting with the Devils he did not make a single shot on goal.
PSG is not going to give up:

The Russian’s performance is not expected to improve in the near future. Carbury experiments a lot. Try using hockey players in different positions and in different combinations. Ovechkin already has a bad tone and now he has to play an unusual role.
Last season, Alexander took a long time to start scoring. The forward is already 39 years old. He becomes slower and adapts worse than others to the rhythm of the regular season. Until now, Ovechkin works more for the team and tries to help achieve good results.
In the next match, Ovechkin is unlikely to save Washington from defeat. You can bet on New Jersey to win at odds of 1.93. In the meetings with Vegas and Dallas everything went very well for the capital. Spencer Carbery got the tactic right; the opponent had little success. These tricks won’t work on Sheldon Keefe.
It’s worth noting that the Capitals are usually in excellent spirits for road games against New Jersey. The Capitals have won five of the last six head-to-head meetings in Newark in regulation. Only the Devils’ current season is very different from previous ones.
The strengthening of the roster with strong and reliable hockey players, as well as the appointment of Keefe, brought balance to New Jersey hockey that was previously missing. Jack Hughes has his hands completely free. For Alexander Ovechkin everything is exactly the opposite.
Predictions and bets for the NHL match “New Jersey” – “Washington” on October 20, 2024
New Jersey looks great. Show harmonious hockey and confidently beat lower class teams. Washington often surprises, but is unstable and not the best equipped. A few big wins guarantee nothing. Carbury is still searching. This time his experiments could have dire consequences.
Tender: New Jersey wins by 1.93.
Kane is the key to success:
