Longtime rivals collide on Saturday night when Sidney Crosby and the Penguins play host to Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals. itsgood2beking looks at tonight's matchup between the two active points leaders in the NHL.
The Penguins opened as -138 consensus favorites, and the line has since been bet up to the -145 range. The line seems a little steep to this handicapper, making Capitals +125 tempting enough to recommend sprinkling something on.
The visiting team is 4-1 in the last five meetings between these two clubs, and the Caps’ game does not fall off much when they take their show on the road. Washington goes from 31.5 shots per game overall to 31.1 away from D.C., while their goals per game remain flat at 3.2. The Capitals could break this game open on the power play, as they have cashed in on seven of their last 16 man-advantage opportunities . Meanwhile, the Penguins have allowed a power play marker in four straight contests .
The moneyline wager on the Caps makes the most sense if you think they’re going to be held to three goals or fewer. The Pens have also been held to two goals or fewer in four of their last five overall.
