Toronto at Washington

Has the bloom come off the rose in Washington? The Capitals opened the season a Superman-like 18-2 at home, but what has transpired since is not so super. The Caps have dropped three of their last four at home. They are now just a pedestrian 7-7 at home in their last 14. That includes losing as a -200 or more favorite five times! The Maple Leafs have been equal opportunity on the ice lately, regardless of the competition. Their last seven games have resulted in either a shootout, or decided in OT, so they will likely be around at the conclusion of this one battling for a win. The odds are very out of whack here as Washington is a sinking ship. I will grab the big dog here and back Toronto.
