The Capitals lead the Southeast Division by six points. Last year these two teams split their eight-game series but this year, the games haven't been competitive. The biggest weapon for Washington has been Alexander Semin (four goals and three assists) but he won't be on the ice today. Given that this is a matchup between the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the division, I expect added defensive intensity. Carolina has gone UNDER in 10 of 15 games this season including four of their last five thanks to an offense that is really sputtering. I like this one to go UNDER.
