Washington Capitals vs. Winnipeg Jets
Tuesday, March 25, 2025 – 08:00 PM EDT at Canada Life Centre
Battle of the Best
We have a huge matchup in the NHL here tonight as 1st placed in both conferences come head-to-head for the first time in almost two months. On that previous occasion, the Winnipeg Jets came away as winners that day as the visiting team with a 5-4 overtime victory.
The Jets are 6-4 coming into this game, while the Washington Capitals are 9-1 in their previous ten. The Capitals have acquired 102 points in 70 games played, while the Jets have picked up 100 points in 71 games. If the Jets want a chance to catch the Capitals for the top regular season team, a victory here tonight would get them right back in with a chance.
Last time they met was in Washington; this time around, it’s on the Jets’ home ice, where they have gone 25-6-4 this season.
The Pick
The Jets have seen overtime twice in their previous five games, and what better opponent to bring it to them again than the Washington Capitals? Their last game was a classic, and we feel that tonight could be similar.
We like our chances at +350 that this game might yet again be a tie at the end of regulation. The trend for games going to overtime has increased slightly in recent days with the playoffs not far ahead, teams are battling for position.
We would bet this number down to as low as +300 NHL betting odds.

Vegas Golden Knights vs. Minnesota Wild
Tuesday, March 25, 2025 – 08:00 PM EDT at Xcel Energy Center
Possible Playoff Matchup
Both these teams are currently in a position that would see them go head-to-head in the first round of the playoffs should they remain in their respective positions come the end of the regular season.
Coming into this matchup, the Golden Knights have gone 6-2-2 in their previous 10 NHL games, while the home team, Minnesota, has gone 6-3-1 in their previous 10 games.
In a strange twist of fate, both teams have had the exact same record across their last ten games in terms of when they won and lost, with both teams having gone W/W/L/L/W/L/L/W/W/W. Both teams have been strong ahead of this game, having won their previous three games.
Although, with that being said, the Wild have been strong at home across their previous ten with a 6-4 record compared to Vegas’s road record having gone 3-7 in their last ten.
Vegas has won the most games between these two teams in their last ten games, with the Wild only claiming victory on 2 occasions. The Golden Knights have won the other 8 matchups.
We believe this game has a very possible chance of ending in a tie, and we love the current +360 betting odds.
The Pick
Both these teams aren’t big overtime teams, with the Minnesota Wild only going to overtime 13 times this season and the Golden Knights going to overtime only 11 times overall. With that being said, both these teams have had 2 overtimes in their last 10 games.
Both have also had two overtimes in their previous 10 NHL matchups. It’s not always easy to hit these bets, so we advise betting small stakes. We would happily take this game to end as a tie after regulation down to as low as +320 betting odds.
There is not much separating them in the division, and it’s all to play for with the playoffs looming.
