Washington has the reputation of a great offensive team. And they are, but this defense has been great all season, too, at fifth in the NHL in goals allowed. Washington has won four in a row, allowing a total of four goals the last three games. Washington is on a 7-3 run UNDER the total, 7-1 UNDER following a win. The UNDER is also 6-0 when the Capitals face the Eastern Conference. Philadelphia has been focusing on defense more the last month. They are off a 3-2 win over Nashville as a dog, part of a 7-2 run UNDER the total. Philadelphia is 4-1 UNDER the total at home and 4-0 UNDER against a team with a winning record. Play UNDER the total in this one.
