Edmonton at Washington

Last place Edmonton is showing some life! They are 3-4 over the last seven games, winning as a big dog each time. They come off a 3-2 win at Florida as a +170 dog. Washington is in a bit of a funk, losing two in a row and the Capitals are 23-48 against the Pacific Division. At least they are playing better defense this season on a 5-1 run UNDER the total at home. This is a tough spot, home from a two-game road rip, including a 5-4 loss at Dallas in their last game. The Capitals are 1-8 after allowing five goals or more in their previous game. Edmonton won't get into an up-tempo game and the UNDER is 17-6-3 when the Oilers face the Eastern Conference, plus when these teams meet the UNDER is 4-1-1. Play Edmonton and the game UNDER the total.
