Picks & Predictions
I’m siding with Washington here largely because of the goaltending mismatch. Logan Thompson has been elite, while Winnipeg is without its best netminder and has struggled defensively.
Washington is more structured, more consistent, and better equipped to grind out road wins. I expect them to control the pace and capitalize on Winnipeg’s mistakes.
