When you want to give up on the Blackhawks, they show life. Chicago upset Dallas, 4-3, as a $1.55 home underdog this past Thursday. The Blackhawks also beat the Stars, 4-3, in a shootout at Dallas last Saturday as a $2.80 underdog. If given 1.5 goals, Chicago would have a winning record in its previous 10 games. Ilya Mikheyev has four goals in his last four games for Chicago. The Capitals blew a two-goal lead in a 4-3 road loss to the Senators this past Thursday. That was the Capitals' eighth loss in their last 11 games. Washington has tumbled to seventh defensively. The Capitals have surrendered three or more goals in each of their previous seven games. They are allowing an average of 4.2 goals a game during this stretch. Washington has given up 19 goals in the past five games when its top goalie, Logan Thompson, has been in the net. Thonson is the confirmed starter today. Take the Blackhawks plus 1.5 goals on the puckline.

Washington lost for the first time in 11 road games 3-1 to Dallas last night, but the Capitals will start another streak as they travel to Chicago to play the hapless Blackhawks. The Capitals have won eight of 10 overall and 11 of 14 against Western Conference opponents. Washington has allowed only 1.83 goals per game their past six games and it has won four of five in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 days situation. Chicago has lost seven of nine although it did get a 5-3 win over the Islanders on Sunday. However, the Blackhawks haven't won two in a row since Nov. 3. Chicago is 8-54 its past 62 games against teams with .600 winning percentages and they'll likely face Logan Thompson tonight and he is 12-1-2 with a 2.45 goals-against average and a .913 save percentage for Washington. Take the Capitals.
