Alex Ovechkin is proving that his Hart Trophy wasn't a mistake. He's tallied 23 goals and 47 points already this season and has led the Capitals to three straight wins and a 23-14 mark thus far. The Caps face another good offensive team in Buffalo in what is a good matchup for them. Washington is 13-4 this season against teams that average 2.9+ goals per game. Buffalo meanwhile is just 6-11 this season vs. poor defensive teams like Washington (those averaging 2.9+ goals allowed). The Capitals are also 12-4 this season coming off a game in which they scored 4+ goals. I like Washington at even money here.
