Washington at Vegas
Washington and Vegas are both going to be playoff-bound teams. Washington had an easy time in Arizona as they shut out the Coyotes 4-0. It won't be as easy tonight in Vegas. Both Washington and Vegas are averaging over 6 combined goals on the season, so I expect a high-scoring game here. The recent history between these clubs backs that up as 3 of the last 4 meetings have gone over the total, and each of the 3 that went over saw 7 or more goals scored. These teams are going to come at each other, and goal should be lighting the lamp all night. Make the play OVER the total.
