Washington at Vancouver

This is a tough situational spot for Washington, its second straight road game. Washington is strong on defense at #13 in goals allowed, seventh in penalty killing, and on a 10-3-1 run UNDER the total. The Capitals are on a three-game win streak, allowing just four goals. Washington is also 7-1-1 UNDER the total on the road, including 7-1-1 UNDER when playing on one day of rest. Vancouver is a tough place to play and is a strong all around team, second in the NHL in goals allowed and seventh in penalty killing. But this offense is not in gear: Vancouver dropped to 1-for-20 on the power play by going 0-for-2 in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to Edmonton. Vancouver is on a 4-1 run UNDER the total, and 4-1-1 UNDER at home. The Canucks have kept Alex Ovechkin to a combined three goals in his last eight matchups and this shapes up as a defensive duel. Take this one to finish UNDER.
