Washington can top anyone with that offense at #11 in goals scored and #2 in the NHL on the power play. They have a winning road record, off a win at New Jersey 4-1. Washington is on a nice roll to open a three-game trip with wins over Carolina and New Jersey. Tampa Bay is a big favorite here with a talented team, but that didn't help them the last game, losing 3-1 to Columbus as -260 chalk. They are just 1-2 the last three games, also losing as a two-dollar favorite at Buffalo 2-1. The Capitals matchup well and are 5-2 in the last seven meetings with Tampa Bay. Back the road team Capitals in this one.
