Washington at Pittsburgh

Washington is loaded everywhere on the ice at third in goals scored and on the power play, tops in goals allowed, and seventh in penalty killing. They had their backs to the wall in Game 3 but pulled out a 3-2 must-win. The Capitals are 40-11 when playing on one day of rest, plus 19-7 against a team with a winning record. They catch a break as Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby will not play in Game 4 because of a concussion. In addition, forward Conor Sheary was leveled Monday when teammate Patric Hornqvist missed a check on the Capitals' Lars Eller and hit Sheary instead. Sheary is also in the concussion protocol, thinning the Penguins even further. Pittsburgh is not an elite defensive team at #17 in goals allowed, #20 in penalty killing. The wagering value is on the visitors to tie the series up with a one-sided win. Play Washington on the puckline.
