Charlie Lindgren has been great for the Caps lately, as he's recorded four straight wins. Washington shouldn't have much trouble scoring on Petr Mrazek, who's 2-5-1 with a 4.05 GAA. The over has hit in four straight and is 7-2 in Mrazek's appearances this season. At home, the Hawks score an average of 2.71 and give up 3.71. Meanwhile, the Caps only score 2.76 on the road, but they give up an average of 3.06 goals per game. At an even six, I'll take this over.

My Blackhawks stink, but they do get No. 1 goaltender Petr Mrazek (not that he has been very good when healthy) and winger Tyler Johnson back from IR stints. This is more about Washington might be worn out playing on the road for the eighth time in the past nine games and looking ahead to a nice homestand up next. Alex Ovechkin would reach the 800-goal club with his 29th career hat trick (see news feed). Just need OT. Chicago at -140 on the puckline.
