Edmonton at Washington

A long road trip for Edmonton, its fifth road game in seven contests. Edmonton is off a rare win, but the UNDER is 8-3 in the Oilers last 11 games following a win. They run into a terrific Washington defense, sixth in the league in goals allowed and seventh in penalty killing. Washington is on an 8-1-1 run UNDER the total at home. The Capitals come off a big offensive game, but they had been held to two goals in three consecutive games while on a 3-1 run UNDER the total. Washington is on a 19-7-2 run UNDER with better defense than many realize, including 10-3-2 UNDER playing on one day of rest. Play the UNDER in this one.
