Washington comes at opponents with speed on offense, #6 in the league in goals scored, #3 on the power play. That offense helps against good teams, with the Capitals 4-1 on the road against a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. Plus, the Capitals are 10-2 in their last 12 Saturday games. Washington is playing well, off a 1-0 loss but that ended a three-game win streak, even winning 3-2 as a +170 dog at Chicago. St. Louis is a tough divisional opponent, but the Blues are in the middle of the pack offensively (#15 in goals scored) and have struggled at defending the power play. It's a good matchup for Washington and the Capitals are 4-1 in the last five meetings. Take Washington.
