Alex Ovechkin's great play has landed him the biggest contract in NHL history (13 years, $124 million). He is tied for second in scoring and he's helpd the Capitals win four of their last five games. They scored 5+ goals in three of htose games. Philadelphia is a good teams but they tend to play down to their competition. They are just 17-39 vs. losing teams the past two seasons. In contrast, Washington is 10-6 vs. winning teams this season. Washington beat this Flyers team 4-3 back in November and Philadelphia is just 20-55 revenging a loss the past two seasons including 13-43 if the loss was same-season. We like Washington's chances here for a 2+ goal win. Philly is 13-9 UNDER on the road and when facing a losing team on the road the past three seasons, they have gone UNDER 30 out of 46 times. We like this to go UNDER as well.
