Goaltending Matchup:

Prediction
The Capitals have won six straight games against the Bruins in Boston and are 22-6 in the last 28 meetings between these two teams. Those are trends you would expect to continue as Washington is playing quite well of late, but Boston is one of the hottest teams in the NHL. Boston has outscored opponents 12-5 through the first three games of their homestand and we look for them to pull out the victory here as well. Go with the Boston Bruins.
The total has gone over in five of the last seven meetings between these two teams but it has gone under in 21 of the last 27 meetings in Boston. The Capitals have gone under in four of their last five on the road while Boston has gone under in three of their last five overall.
The total is set at 6.0. These two teams combined to average 6.5 goals per game while allowing 5.6 per contest combined. We like the under in a close battle here as Boston wins, 3-2.

Vegas, Baby
If you want to make some bread, slam the Golden Knights and the 'under'. Vegas has won seven in a row, with the 'under' hitting at a solid 5-1-1 clip during the span. Both of those streaks will be put to the test in a key Western Conference showdown when the San Jose Sharks invade the Strip. The Sharks enter on their own four-game winning streak, and they have picked up victories in five of their past six outings. They're also 5-1 in the past six inside the Western Conference. The Golden Knights have won an impressive 50 of their past 70 home games, however, and that includes a 5-1 mark in their past six home meetings against San Jose.
Fade the Leafs?
The Toronto Maple Leafs were able to bury the Vancouver Canucks by a 5-0 count on Saturday night at ScotiaBank Arena, but they was a rare victory lately. They're just 1-3-0 across the past four, and right now they're working with goaltender Michael Hutchinson, an import from the Florida Panthers, with the top two netminders in the organization, Frederik Andersen and Garret Sparks, nursing injuries. Toronto goaltenders have allowed at least four goals in three of the past four, and for some reason the offense has had a power outage lately, too, when it matters most. The Leafs have been blanked in two of the past four outings.
Looking Ahead
Thursday, Jan. 10
Nashville-Columbus: It's battle between the Nashville Predators and Columbus Blue Jackets in the 'Heart of it all', with both hockey clubs playing well lately. The Preds skate in with victories in five of the past six overall, and they're 4-1 in their past five. Nashville has also been victorious in 16 of their past 21 against the Eastern Conference. The Blue Jackets are no slouch, going 7-3 over the past 10 while cashing in four straight against Central Division foes. And C-Bus has the luxury of a day or rest, while the Preds just played last night. Of course, Smashville is 11-4 in their past 15 in the second end of a back-to-back.
In Nashville-Columbus, total bettors might want to seriously consider the 'under'. The under is 5-0 in the past five in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation (three games in four games) for the Predators, while going 5-1 in the past six when they're playing in the second end of a back-to-back situation. For The Jackets, the under is 7-1 in the past eight at home, 9-4-1 in the past 14 overall and 5-0 in the past five against winning teams. The under is also 9-1-1 in their past 11 tries against Western Conference clubs.
Washington-Boston: The Capitals have won six consecutive trips to Boston, while winning 22 of their past 28 meetings against the Bruins. The 'under' is also 21-6 in the past 27 meetings in Beantown. However, the B's enter on a heater, winning five in a row and 38 of their past 51 at home. Of course, the Caps are 28-11 in the past 39 on the road, and they're 19-7 in the past 26 overall.
Winnipeg-Minnesota: The Jets head to the Twin Cities with victories in eight of the past 10 games on the road, and they're 14-5 across their past 19 contests overall. They'll be facing a Wild team which has come up short in four consecutive home games while registering just one win in the past seven against Western Conference foes. However, the home team has cashed in seven of the past nine in this series, with the Jets just 2-5 in the past seven trips to St. Paul.
