Detroit has won 5 of their last 6 games and are coming off a 4-2 loss in Seattle they have had two days off since then to prepare for this game.

Washington has lost 4 games in a row including 3 straight home losses. Washington has lost by 3 goals in 3 of their last 4 losses. Washington has scored 2 or less goals in 4 of their last 5 games.

Detroit is hot and Washington is COLD without having Ovechkin this Capitals team looks more like a bottom feeder then a team that should be -160. I like this underdog price on a team that has been winning games and scoring goals.

Pick: Detroit Red Wings ML
