These teams broke a string of three straight OVERs in Washington's 2-1 overtime win on Friday. Justin Williams scored 64 seconds into overtime and Braden Holtby made 24 saves for the Capitals. The previous three games had 23 goals scored and five of the last eight meetings have gone OVER and six of the last seven at Toronto have gone OVER the total. Also, the Capitals are 9-2-1 OVER their last 12 road contests and they are 39-33 OVER for the regular season and playoffs. Holtby allowed 12 goals in Games 2 through 4, and Frederik Andersen gave up 14 goals in the first four games of the series. Look for more offense to return in Game 6. Take the OVER.
