10* OVER Capitals/Flyers (ASSASSIN)

From a situational stand point, I think this one sets up to a very explosive, high-scoring "shootout." Washington has been trading wins and losses over its last seven games. It's off the 1-0 win at home over Columbus. It's seen the total go "under" in three straight, which is significant to note here in our case, as the Capitals have in fact seen the total go "over" the number in seven of their last ten after playing to three or more straight "unders" in a row. Philadelphia is playing its best hockey of the season, having won five of its last six. That includes a 4-0 victory at red hot Buffalo last time out. Philly plays with revenge here after a 4-1 defeat to the Capitals in December, which is also significant for us to note, as Philly has seen the total go "over" the number in five of its last six in trying to avenge a loss against an opponent in which it was held to one or less goals in. As I said off the top, from situational stand point, this one sets up great to be a high-scoring "over!"
