Washington at Pittsburgh

The oddsmakers are calling for a shootout in this matchup with a high posted total. I'm not so sure about that, as it takes seven scores to push this one OVER, and that has occurred in just nine Capitals' games this season or 32.1% of all games. It will be even more difficult as the Penguins have really been getting great play in front of the net. Their last five games show the opponents have tallied just 5 times, or just 1 score per contest. Washington has been decidedly UNDER on the road vs. a team with a home winning percentage over .600, where they have played to a 17-6-4 UNDER mark in their last 27. Just 14 of their last 54 vs. the Atlantic have topped the total as well. The Penguins have four straight in the UNDER column after allowing 2 or less in their last game. And with the UNDER prevailing in 7 of the last 10 meetings between these clubs, I don't see it getting there tonight. Play the UNDER.
