Montreal at Washington

The Canadiens shocked the Capitals in the opener, which may have been a blessing for the Caps as they seemed to think that they just had to show up for this series and win it. That has changed as they captured game two to even the series, but then went to Montreal and showed the Habs what they were up against, claiming both games by a combined 11-4 margin. This team is amped up now and that is doom for the Canadiens who are 1-11 in their last 12 as a playoffs underdog. Washington is 70-30 in their last 100 as a home favorite and will cruise here, so I’m going with Washington.
