Los Angeles Kings vs Washington Capitals Picks & Prediction for Monday November 17 2025

Capitals Preview

Washington continues to search for rhythm after another tough loss. Their offense has lacked sustained pressure, and they’ve struggled to generate enough scoring chances to support Thompson. Slow starts and difficulty establishing clean zone entries have repeatedly put them behind early, forcing them into uncomfortable situations against organized teams.

Special teams add another advantage for the Kings. Their penalty kill has remained reliable, while Washington’s power play continues to be inconsistent and predictable. If this game tightens up or features several penalties, Los Angeles is better positioned to capitalize on those swings in momentum throughout the night. Betting on sports and on the Capitals is easy, but even easier if you use the best sportsbooks.
