Montreal at Washington

Montreal catches the Capitals in a back-to-back situation and off an overtime loss at New Jersey Thursday night. Washington lost 34 seconds into the extra period on Taylor Hall's breakaway goal. Braden Holtby had 28 saves for the Caps, who are likely to have Philipp Grubauer in goal tonight and he is 4-5-3 on the season with a 2.60 goals-against average and .916 save percentage. Grubauer gave up three goals in his last appearance against Carolina on Jan. 12. Montreal looks to bounce back from a 4-1 loss at Boston on Wednesday and the Canadiens are 19-7 their last 26 games after a loss by at least three goals dating to last season. Washington has lost five of its last seven after an overtime game the previous day. The value lies with the underdog, so play the Canadiens.
