New Jersey comes off a 4-1 win at the New York Islanders on Tuesday as Damon Severson scored twice within 1:26 in the second period and Kyle Palmieri and Taylor Hall also scored for the Devils, who snapped a six-game losing streak. Keith Kinkaid had 25 saves for the Devils and he could get the call again tonight as Cory Schneider is only probable with an illness. New Jersey has gone UNDER five of its last seven playing with one day of rest. Braden Holtby is 24-9-0 for the Capitals and owns a 2.66 goals-against average and .917 save percentage. Holtby has allowed more than three goals just once his last 10 starts, including a 3-1 win over Carolina on Jan. 11. Look for this matchup to stay UNDER the total.
