Atlanta at Washington

The Capitals have one thing left to shore-up before they make their bid for the Stanley Cup, and that is behind the net and on the defensive end. The Caps after allowing 37 goals in 11 games, have tightened things up and have allowed just 8 in their last four or 2 per contest. The Thrashers after playing lots of high-scoring games for most of the season, have shifted gears and eight of their last nine have played UNDER. The nine games have seen none top the 6-goal mark except one that was decided in overtime. The Caps have played five of their last six vs. a team with a losing record to the UNDER, and I look for this one to stay UNDER the total.
