Buffalo at Washington

The Capitals have it rolling and that makes them even tougher at home where they have been good in six of their last seven games. They have punished visiting teams by a count of 30-17 in the process, or on average by 1.6 goals per game. That may be trouble for a Sabres offense that has been leaking oil of late with just 22 goals in their last 10 games. That has left them stranded to a 3-8 mark in their last 11 on the road as a dog of +110 to +150. The Caps are really getting it done as a favorite, now 71-33 in their last 104, and the favorite has been on the winning side in 11 of the last 16 in this series. I like Washington here.
