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

The Canucks have so far played over their heads, coming off an Opening season successful road trip, followed by an OT win over the Bruins at home most recently on Saturday night. We don't think there will be any upsets this evening though as Washington comes in focused in the opener of this Western swing, as it follows up with contests in Edmonton, Calgary and Montreal as well. The Capitals were last in action three nights ago, a 6-5 shootout loss at home to the Panthers. The recent home loss makes the CAPITALS come in focused on the task at hand on Monday night; lay the reasonable mid-sized price on the defending champs.
