We faded Washington in a big way in their last home game on Thursday. They were -295 favorites in that one and lost, making us a bundle. Today though I'm on them. They've lost three straight and that loss to Toronto had to be a major wake-up call. On top of that, Ovechkin is expected back for this game. The Caps are 24-8 this season against teams that average 2.9+ goals per game. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh is just 5-12 after a win by 2+ goals this season. I like the Caps to bounce back here. I also like the UNDER. I expect an inspired defensive effort from Washington given the embarrassing loss last game. And, the Penguins are actually playing great defense right now themselves (1.4 goals per game allowed over their last five). Take Washington and the UNDER here.
