This is a 10* GAME OF THE MONTH on the Washington Capitals.

We played the Capitals in Game 3 and if you didn't get a chance to read that analysis, we're going to re-post it right now, as the logic behind that selection for the most part completely pertains to this one as well:

We had a play on the Capitals in Game 2 and we think the offer fantastic value in Game 3 in front of the home town crowd. For arguments sakes, let's call these goaltenders a "wash." Braden Holtby came up big in Game 2 for the Caps, while Marc-Andre Fleury is the main reason why the Knights are even in the Stanley Cup Finals in their first year of existence. Las Vegas has been quick to adapt its style of play throughout the postseason, but it's running into a super hot goaltender itself, and it's facing the most skilled players that they've seen all year. We'd argue that the Capitals are the "hungrier" team as well in this series. Las Vegas would love to re-write the record books, but Washington's core group of players have been flirting with Stanley Cup success now for over five years. Alexander Ovechkin looks like a man on a mission and we're expecting the Russian super-star to once again step up and dominate here. All things considered, we do indeed feel that this is very definition of "great line value." Lay the price play on the CAPITALS.

For the exact same reasons listed above, play on WASHINGTON.
