T.M. Selection: Washington Capitals.

I like the Washington Capitals to win this game against the Dallas Stars on Friday. The Capitals have lost 2 games in a row and i think they are due for a bounce back here. They lost a close game at home to Vegas losing 1-0 and then they got embarrassed by the Sharks 4-1, again on their home ice. I think they will respond to that loss with a much better performance here and I expect them to bounce back and win this game against the Stars. The Stars have won 4 games in a row but i think that is going to end here. All 4 of those wins came on a road trip that they were on and this is their 1st game back at home since all of that travel. I think they will come out a bit sluggish and slow in this 1st game back at home and I think the Capitals can take advantage of them here. The Stars are going to be fat and happy coming back from that road trip with all of the possible points that they could've earned. The Capitals are going to be hungry for a win though since they haven't been winning many games lately but they have been coming close losing a lot of games by 1 goal. I think they are going to get after the Stars here and the Capitals have also been getting healthier over their past few games so I am expecting a good effort from them in this game. I like the Capitals to win this game against the Stars.

T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Capitals.
