Washington is on a roll at 4-1 the last five games with the only loss 3-2 at the New York Rangers. The Capitals are a strong all-around, sixth in the NHL in goals scored, seventh in goals allowed and tops on the power play. Washington has gotten production up and down the roster in the postseason. Alex Ovechkin has followed his 53-goal season with four goals and four assists, Joel Ward scored the winner in game one against the Rangers and Jay Beagle netted the Capitals' only goal in game three. The Capitals are 39-19 playing on one day of rest and 13-3 after scoring two or fewer goals in their previous game. Dating to last season, New York has played in an NHL-record 11 consecutive playoff games decided by one goal. The visitors are good enough to pull the upset or keep it close enough to lose by just one goal. Take Washington on the puckline.
