This is an 8* play on the Washington Capitals.

This selection is primarily based on strong ATS trends: A 3-1 hole will be difficult for Washington to climb out of, I think the desperation level in which the visitors play with tonight will prove to be the difference in the outcome once the final horn blares. Capitals star player Alexander Ovechkin was held off the score sheet in Monday's 2-1 OT loss, but note that Washington has dominated in this position for bettors all year, 26-14 (+10.2 units) in revenging a loss vs. an opponent and 9-5 (+4.2 units) after scoring one goal or less in its previous game. Conversely, this is in fact a spot in which the Isles have struggled in this season, just 5-7 (-2.3 units) after an OT victory. I think that the bounces finally start going the CAPITALS way and that the "better" team finds a way to get the job done at the end of the night.
