Washington at Tampa Bay

The Washington Capitals find themselves on the brink of elimination, so there is no doubt who the team in need is in this one. The Caps will manifest their "A" game for this one as the fourth win is always the hardest to come by and the motivational value lies with Washington in this one. The Caps remain 20-7 on the road facing a team with a winning record in their last 27. This game marks the third game in four days which has been a bad situation for the Lightning as they have gone just 7-15 in their last 22 in a three game in four nights situation. I like Washington in this one.
