New Jersey Devils and Washington Capitals head-to-head record

The Washington Capitals have won three of the last five games they've competed against the New Jersey Devils. The Capitals won the most recent game, on February 21, 2024, with a score of 6-2. On January 4, 2024, the Devils easily beat the Capitals by a score of 6-3. Four of the last five games between these two teams have had at least six goals scored. This suggests that high-scoring games are common between them. The Capitals have proven that they can beat the Devils' defense, but the Devils have also shown that they can score when they need to. Since these two teams have a history of going back and forth, another high-scoring game where both teams use their offensive strengths is likely. But because the Capitals have won their last few games against them, they might have a slight edge.
