Devils vs. Capitals on Nov. 13 at 03:00 Moscow Time: Preview with Ovechkin

Overnight into Friday, November 13, at 03:00 Moscow time, Washington visits New Jersey at Prudential Center (Tablo schedule, based on nhl.com). Our preview of Devils vs. Capitals is a short one, because we don't have much reliable data.
What we know for certain: on November 1, Washington lost to Minnesota 1-5 (nhl.com, yourvalley.net). That's a fresh wound, and in the NHL such wounds either heal quickly or bleed for weeks. On the night of November 11, Washington plays in Ottawa; we could not find the result as of writing, so we are not factoring it into the visitors' form.
What we don't know: the standings, New Jersey's lineup, this season's head-to-head meetings. Open sources did not show them in search results. Naming a favorite without them would be guessing. So our conclusion is a cautious one: the home side is slightly ahead simply because of the home arena, but a game with Ovechkin in the visitors' lineup easily turns any logic upside down. This is the editors' opinion, not a guarantee of the result.
What matters more for Washington on this road trip: restoring confidence on defense or making sure Ovechkin doesn't go without a goal?
