Pierre-Luc Dubois Assists Prediction: Under 0.5 vs Devils — March 20 NHL Pick
Pierre-Luc Dubois' assists prop is a strong under play on tonight's Washington Capitals vs New Jersey Devils matchup. The Capitals forward faces a defensive-minded Devils squad on March 20, and our model projects Dubois to stay quiet in the playmaking department well below his 0.5-assist line. Here's why we're backing the Under.
Pierre-Luc Dubois Stats & Recent Form
Dubois has averaged 0.31 assists per game over his last five contests, consistently falling short of the 0.5 mark in most outings. The Capitals forward has been in a production slump, recording more games with zero or one assist than multi-point efforts. His playmaking opportunities have dwindled as Washington's power play continues to sputter, limiting his chances to rack up helper stats. In matchups against defensive teams like New Jersey, Dubois' assist totals typically trend even lower due to reduced offensive flow.
Matchup Analysis: Washington Capitals vs New Jersey Devils
New Jersey ranks in the top 10 in team defense and has been stingy against secondary playmakers in recent weeks. The Devils' defensive structure limits scoring chances and clogs passing lanes, making it difficult for role players like Dubois to accumulate assists from the wing. Washington's offensive production has been middling, and Dubois' role in the attack hasn't generated consistent setup opportunities. The Devils' defensive-first mentality typically forces tighter games with fewer playmaking opportunities for non-elite centers.
Our Dubois Assists Prop Pick for March 20
We're backing the Under 0.5 Assists at -218 odds. Dubois' recent trend of sub-0.5 assist averages, combined with New Jersey's defensive wall and Washington's sluggish offensive pace, makes this an easy under. The -218 juice reflects sharp action, and for good reason—expect Dubois to record zero assists in this matchup. This is a solid Kalshi prediction market play and a reliable DFS contrarian lever if you're stacking Washington's top line without Dubois' playmaking upside.
