Washington at New York

The Washington Capitals and the New York Rangers have pretty much mirrored each other this season, with the Capitals at 17-10-6 and the Rangers at 17-10-4. This becomes a good opportunity to display which team is better and a strong measuring stick for both teams, which usually means it will be played out on the defensive end. The Caps seem to fit the bill in that expectation as over their last nine games they have allowed a total of 16 goals at less than 2 per contest. Not to be out-done the Rangers have allowed just five scores in their last five games, and have recorded two shutouts in the process. This is a pair of evenly matched teams, with both playing lights-out on the defensive end. The Capitals are 11-3-1 to the UNDER in their last 15 on the road vs. a winning team. This series has seen the UNDER prevail to a 29-14-10 mark in the last 53 meetings, with just 2 of the last 13 making it over the top in New York. Play on the UNDER.
