Washington apparently will get back two top forwards off injured reserve tonight in Nicklas Backstrom and TJ Oshie. Young Zach Fucale is in net and he has been spectacular in three appearances and two starts with a 0.42 GAA and a .980 save percentage. The Bruins are 3-8 in their last 11 games as underdogs and 5-12 in their past 17 in DC. Boston is certainly good enough to win this game, but I can't turn down the Caps at this great price at home.

My model says the Capitals win in almost 60 percent of the simulations, so you're getting strong value with them at this number. Washington is looking to end a three-game slide (0-1-2) as it returns home, where it has gone 10-3-5 this season. Alex Ovechkin is second in the NHL with 24 goals and third in points with 51. Evgeny Kuznetsov has recorded a goal in three of his last five contests for the Capitals. Expect Washington's Russian stars to lead the team to victory.
