St. Louis has won four straight, but it is playing its third game in four nights and the win streak followed an eight-game losing streak by the Blues. Washington comes in as a desperate team and the Capitals have an opportunity to take advantage of the Blues' backup goalie, Thomas Greiss, who is likely to start in this back-to-back spot for St. Louis. Greiss is 0-3-0 with a 3.78 goals-against average and .899 save percentage and he allowed five goals his last game in a 5-1 loss to Philadelphia. The Blues have lost nine of their past 13 versus the Metropolitan Division. The Capitals have gone UNDER six in a row against Central Division teams and the Blues have stayed UNDER four of five following a win. Darcy Kuemper is expected in net for Washington and he owns a 2.73 GAA and .921 save percentage on the road this season. Take the Capitals as a Max Play, and also play this game to stay UNDER.
