Washington at New York

A pair of powerhouse offensive teams clash. Washington is in first place, and #12 in the NHL in goals scored, and seventh on the power play. Washington is off a 3-2 win and 15-5-1 OVER the total after allowing two goals or less in their previous game. The Capitals are in the middle of the pack defensively and face a last place NY Islanders team with no defense at #31 in goals allowed, and #29 in penalty killing. New York can score, at eighth in goals scored, but has spiraled out of playoff contention with a 1-8 run because of that terrible defense (31 goals allowed the last nine contests). The Islanders are 20-9-1 OVER the total at home, as well as 20-9-3 OVER against winning teams. Play this one to finish OVER.
