Colorado has demonstrated why it entered the year as the obvious Stanley Cup entrance-runner. The Avalanche will carry on their pursuit of a next consecutive Presidents’ Trophy on Monday, as they host the Capitals.
Washington has been on a superior operate of late, winning 5 of its previous 6. The Caps now have a real looking hope of chasing down Pittsburgh for 3rd in the Metro Division, which will support them stay away from the Panthers in Round 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Offensively, the Capitals are incredibly able, but their defensive enjoy is considerably from dominant, and they have some common netminding. It is pretty tricky for me to envision the Capitals’ protection maintaining this unbelievably deep and proficient Avalanche team in verify.
We observed Colorado toy with a Carolina workforce that usually lets subsequent to absolutely nothing. The Avs dropped a seven-location on Saturday vs. the Hurricanes, and it’s simple to see why they will net 4-plus plans yet again listed here.
Nevertheless, to see the Capitals’ offense locate some results would be significantly from surprising. They have ongoing to be outstanding at producing daily life tricky for opposing netminders, forcing a lot of east-west motion with a whole lot of plus taking pictures expertise.
The Capitals likely won’t make Kuemper seem as dominant (if he even will get the start out), but with the West all locked up, I believe we see the Avs opting to give Kuemper a rest listed here.
At -120, I see price backing this video game to get Over 6.5, and I would engage in 6.5 down to -135.
The perform: Over 6.5 -120 (Engage in to -135)
