After blowing a 3-goal lead late in Friday’s game with the Islanders, the Detroit Red Wings will have their tails between their legs when they travel to Washington to take on Ovechkin and company in an early one today. The Red Wings have now lost three in a row, are a dismal 1-5 in their last 6 meetings with the Capitals, and 0-4 in their last 4 trips to Capital One Arena. Washington is riding a 2-game winning streak and are tough at home, with a record of 20-8-1. Washington should prevail.
