Anaheim at Washington

First place Anaheim is a long way from home, and are a fine defensive team that has won 8 of 10. They held Nashville to two goals the last game in a road win last night, so it's the second of a back-to-back spot. No need to play an up-tempo game against speedy Washington, and the UNDER is 4-1 when playing on no rest, plus 3-1-1 UNDER the total in the third game of a three-in-four days situation. They are also still without captain and star offensive force Ryan Getzlaf. The All-Star center leads the team with 52 points. Washington has a vastly improved defense at #8 in the NHL in goals allowed and are off a 2-1 win at Ottawa. The UNDER is 5-2 in the Capitals' last seven home games, so look for more defense than oddsmakers expect. Play this one UNDER.
