Washington at Los Angeles

Washington's top-ranked defense has allowed four goals in each of the last two contests. Capitals goalie Braden Holtby has yielded seven goals on 35 shots to lose back-to-back outings. At least the offense is high-octane, third in the NHL in scoring, and ninth on the power play. Washington is 8-3-3 OVER the total when playing on one day of rest, plus 7-3-2 OVER after scoring two or fewer goals in their previous game. Los Angeles has scored three goals in three straight games, plus has 18 goals the last five contests. Adding veteran Jarome Iginla makes the offense even better. He recorded his first multi-goal performance of the season by scoring in overtime of Los Angeles' 3-2 win over Nashville on Thursday. They are on a 5-2-7 run OVER the total at home. Take the OVER.
