Getting out of the DC area could be just what the Capitals need as they should be fairly loose and free wheeling tonight. The power play is due to get on track and we think the Washington offense will crank it up in this one.
Expect a solid performance from Caps goaltender Neuvirth to keep this game close. Don’t be surprised if the Capitals win this one outright.
Take the Capitals with +1.5 pucks (-330) against the Lightning!
