Winnipeg at Washington

This is a tough situational spot for Winnipeg, a long way from home playing its third road game in four contests. The defense is struggling, allowing 11 goals the last three games and the Jets are 1-5 in their last six road games. The UNDER is 4-1 when the Jets are playing on two days rest. They are off a game scoring five goals but the UNDER is 3-1-1 after scoring five goals or more in their previous game. All of that will all be a concern against a strong Washington club that is #7 in the NHL in goals scored, #8 in goals allowed and second on the power play. The Capitals are off an impressive 3-1 victory at Pittsburgh Tuesday night as Alex Ovechkin had his NHL-leading 37th goal. The Capitals are 10-3 in their last 13 home games, plus 25-10 playing on one day of rest. Washington's defense is much improved from last season, on a 6-2 run UNDER the total, plus 20-8-1 UNDER playing on one day of rest. The Jets are 0-6 in the last six meetings, including just 4-12 in Washington. Play Washington and the game total UNDER.
