Prediction
Washington has absolutely dominated Boston of late, winning seven straight against them and are 21-5 in the last 26 meetings. Both teams are slumping, but the fact that Washington is at home and they have dominated the Bruins, you have to go with the Capitals.
The total has moved from an original line of 5.5 to 6.0, and understandably so. These two teams have gone over in four of their last five games in Washington and three of the last four overall. Both have solid defenses and good goaltending, but that was the case in the other contests, and most of them went over. We see that here as well, as Washington wins 4-3.
