The Capitals have been playing well all year but have turned it up a notch as they have not suffered a loss in their last five games. The goaltending has been superb in the stretch allowing just nine goals, less than two per contest. The Lightning have come up big at home, suffering just two defeats on the strength of allowing 2.5 goals per game on home ice, and the last resulted in a shutout. The Lightning is in a huge UNDER spot for them as this will be their fourth game in six nights. The last nine in this situation have all resulted in UNDERs! This one is posted high, likely off of the Caps eight-goal explosion in their last game, but this one trends the other way, so I'll go under here.
