On the surface this game looks like it will be extremely high scoring. Washington isn't playing much defense right now and Carolina is all about high-scoring games. Both have gone OVER of late going into the break. But the break can sometimes throw those kinds of streaks off. Washington happens to play UNDER vs. good high scoring teams. They are 28-18 UNDER on the road vs. teams that avarage 30+ shots on goal per game over the past two seasons. Carolina tends to go UNDER vs. poor defensive teams. They are 17-10 UNDER vs. opponents that allow 30+ shots on goal. So, what appears to be an easy OVER actually has a good shot at going UNDER. Throw in the fact that Carolina this season is 8-2 UNDER this year revenging a loss by 2+ goals, and a lofty 6.5 number, and we'll go UNDER here.
