I see this as a kill spot for the Capitals playing at home - where they have won 71 percent of the time in their last 53 games - and with a chance to close out the Flyers after building a 3-0 series lead before the Flyers won Game 4. The Capitals want to answer their critics about their inability to close out a series.
Washington is the vastly superior team and has outscored the Flyers by a 7-0 margin during the third period of the series. The Flyers will be pulling their goalie earlier than usual if down one or two goals, which makes taking a plus price on the puck line even more attractive.
