Washington enters this game with the edge thanks to a deeper roster and more consistent offense. But I'm leaning toward the under as my best bet for this matchup. Look for the goaltending on both sides to keep both teams competitive in this game and for the under to ultimately cash when the final horn sounds in D.C.
