Capitals vs Senators Prediction


I’d love to grab the plus money with the Capitals, as they’re a team I’ve hyped up from the start and have backed a lot this season. However, I’m leaning toward the over. The Capitals are a top-10 scoring team, and they’ve seen the over cash in 11 of their first 15 games. Also, the Senators and Caps have produced seven or more goals in seven of their last 10 games. The last five games have produced an average of 7.6 goals.

The Senators aren’t great offensively, but I’m going to back the Capitals trend this season and the high-scoring history between these teams. Expect some fireworks on Tuesday. Give me the over.
