Washington at Dallas

Stars returned home from a three-game trip to the East Coast and could be in a lull tonight readjusting from the trip and time change. Washington has been very competitive, getting good goaltending, but has come up just short losing by a single goal in their last two and via shootout three games back. These teams have not met since '06 - a Washington win. The Caps are 11-4 after allowing two goals or less and also 8-3 in their last 11 against the Western Conference. The Stars are just 2-5 in their last seven off of one day of rest, and returning from a trip back East, and are probably down a bit physically, so I'll back the Caps here.
