Premium Pick

Washington bounced back from a 3-0 loss at Columbus to defeat San Jose as a big underdog and the Capitals now have won four of their last six games and appear to have gotten back on track following a recent seven-game losing streak. T.J. Oshie had two goals and an assist to back Braden Holtby, who had 24 saves against the Sharks. Anaheim won a game for its new coach, but then went back to losing again in a 3-0 defeat to Boston on Friday. The Ducks have had a horrible time scoring this season and they have totaled only 12 goals their last 10 games. Goalie John Gibson is questionable with a back injury and Kevin Boyle may get the start again after blanking Vancouver before losing to the Bruins. It would be only his third career NHL start and against the defending champions. Holtby has a 2.99 goals-against average and .908 save percentage. Washington is 15-4 its last 19 games after allowing two or fewer goals its previous game. Anaheim is 9-27 its last 36 games playing with one day of rest. Take the Capitals.
