The under is the best bet this evening when the Washington Capitals skate against the Montreal Canadiens.
I'm almost tempted to pull the trigger on the Caps here as a two dollar dog, but Washinton's 2-10 record on front end of back-to-back games has me squarely on the total.
The Capitals have seen five of their last seven go under the total while scoring just 14 goals and also fit 9-4 under angle of 3+ losses. Washington is not missing Olaf Kolzig all that much as I watched Brent Johnson stand on his head to keep the Pens out of the net on Sunday.
The series is 22-11 under in the last 33, and 4-0 under post-strike including both games here. Take the under.
