Calgary Flames vs. Washington Capitals Prediction

I’m on Washington in this game. I just think that the Capitals continue to be an elite team in the NHL, while the Flames are kind of hovering around the middle of the pack and have still had issues separating themselves on the road. The Flames just don’t play well enough on the road to give a line like this any sort of value, especially with one of the league’s best on the other side. I think Washington keeps the momentum going here so give me the Capitals in this one.
