We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account numerous different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics.

This particular play is based on a few different factors:

As note that Minneosta has seen the total go UNDER the number in two of its last three after allowing four goals or more (just lost 4-2 to the Blackhawks), while Washington has seen the total go UNDER in two of its last three after three or more consecutive SU losses and in two of three after seeing the total go "over" the number in three or more consecutive contests.

The bottom line: It's all hands on deck for Washington today as it's lost four straight. And with games against Nashville, Tampa Bay, Calgary and Columbus upcoming respectively, it certainly isn't going to get any easier for the Capitals any time soon. Minnesota has played to a couple of higher-scoring affairs, but the numbers and the situation both point to a lower-scoring goaltenders battle this evening. Play the UNDER.
