The Washington Capitals are on a roll and so is their captain, Alex Ovechkin. The Caps are 9-3-0 overall, 7-1-0 at Capital One Arena, and Ovi has 6 tallies in the last 5 games. Tonight they will host the Pittsburgh Penguins, who are doing just the opposite. The 5-8-2 Penguins have lost 2 straight and 8 of their last 10. Washington is averaging 4.08 goals per game as opposed to Pittsburgh’s pitiful 2.8. The Caps are also allowing just 2.92 goals per game as opposed to the Penguin’s 3.8. The side to consider here is easy.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WASHINGTON CAPITALS
