Both teams currently sit in the Top 6 of the whole league, with the Capitals still leading the Metropolitan Division with a three-point cushion (despite losing three of their last four outings), and the Avalanche trailing the 1st-placed St. Louis Blues in the Central Division just by a single point and with a game in hand.

Colorado has under-performed versus the Metropolitan Division lately, losing on four of the past five occasions, while also dropping four of its previous five encounters with the Caps in Denver. With Washington winning 8 of its last 10 outings as an underdog, pick the road team in this one!
The Caps are playing with 2 days of rest. They are one of the best teams over the past five seasons with 2 days rest and we are getting good value on the underdog here Thursday night.

Play the Washington Capitals
