Washington at Vegas

Talented Washington is in the rare role of underdog. The Capitals are 9-2 as a dog and on a 19-7 run away from home, including 9-2 as a road underdog. They were a dog two games ago and won at Colorado, 3-2. Washington is fourth in the NHL in goals scored, and they face a Vegas Golden Knights squad on a 6-9 slide, losing seven times as chalk. Vegas is #15 in goals scored, while the defense is #21 in save percentage. The Capitals are 6-1 in the last seven meetings, so back the visiting dog. Back Washington.
