Washington at San Jose

This will quite a challenge for Washington, a team riding a four-game win streak, but faces a long road trip to the West Coast. Their defense has been exceptional, allowing 5 total goals the last four games, as 20-year-old rookie defenseman Dmitry Orlov continues to get better and impress. He's a physical player who was recalled November 20th after a four-game skid. Also note that the UNDER is 45-18-1 in the Capitals’ last 64 after allowing 2 goals or less in their previous game. They take on a first place San Jose squad that is ALL about defense, No. 7 in the NHL in goals allowed while riding a 6-0 run UNDER the total. They are off a victory and the UNDER is 12-2 in the Sharks’ last 14 games following a win. It's also a tough scheduling spot, playing their third game in four nights, but that's when they like to slow it down. The UNDER is 6-2-1 in the Sharks’ last nine in the third game of a 3-in-4 days situation. When these teams clash the UNDER is 7-2-1 in the last 10 meetings. Play the UNDER.
