Washington at New York
Washington is ninth in the NHL in goals allowed. Star Alex Ovechkin has been resting and the team has scored seven goals in four games. New York is a defensive-first team under head coach Patrick Roy, ranked 13th in save percentage (.901). The offense ranks 31st on the power play, 30th in shooting percentage, and 25th in goals scored (2.75 per game). The Islanders are off a 1-0 win over New Jersey, part of a 4-3 run UNDER the total. That included a 4-1 game two weeks ago against this Washington squad. Take Washington/New York UNDER the total.
