Wednesday, November 20, 2019—67 Washington Capitals -155 (BetOnline)

8 pm EST/5 pm PST (NBCSN)—The Capitals (16-3-4) own the best Road Record in the NHL (10-1-1 ) and the 2018 NHL Stanley Cup winners are away from Washington, DC and in the Big Apple and Madison Square Garden to face the Rangers (8-8-2) in a Metropolitan Division skate on Wednesday night. Washington will head in on a W2 streak and 8-1-1 its L10 while the captain-less Broadway Blueshirts have L2 and are 5-5-4 at Home in NYC.

The last time these two met, Washington—which has the best Record and Goal Differential (+20) in the NHL—won 5-2 at Capital One Arena in The District as TJ Oshie scored twice on the Power Play as John Carlson (32 points) and the hosts led all the way.

The series Trends show Alexander Ovechkin and the Capitals have played 15 Overs and 7 Unders and although the recent series games were as tight as a frog’s ass, Washington swept NYR—3-2 (SO), 6-5 (OT), 5-3 and 4-3 (OT)—in 2018 and have W7 straight vs the Rangers, last losing to them on Dec. 27, 2017 in a 1-0 SO at MSG as G Braden Holtby (10-1-3, 2.97 GAA) played fantastic but suffered the Loss.

Here, knowing that this is a nationally televised game and healthy, the Capitals should score at least 2 of the first 3 goals in a game which should have 5-7 scores with Washington possibly approaching the Total (6½o -130, BetOnline) themselves.

With guys like Евгеньевич Кузнецов (Evgeny Kuznetsov), Niklas Bäckström, Tom Wilson Lars Eller and Jakub Vrána, this is a team looking like the favorite to win the 2020 Stanley Cup (12/1, Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook) from this distance with everyone in the Western Conference seemingly sleep-skating with the East’s Islanders (9-0-1 L10; 20/1 to win SC) and Bruins (16-3-4, 8/1 to win SC) also playing the best Hockey in the NHL at this point in time.

A 4-2 or 5-2 Capitals win in this spot seems logical, even in New York City.

Capitals 5 Rangers 2
