Washington has retooled around Alex Ovechkin the past couple of seasons, and the results are impressive as the young team has won four in a row while allowing only five goals in that span. Logan Thompson has been spectacular with a 1.75 goals-against average for the Capitals, who outshot Minnesota 45-15, including 24-7 through two periods in a 5-1 victory on Friday. Vancouver has lost seven Sunday games in a row dating to last season, and the Canucks also have gone UNDER in all those games. The UNDER is 6-0-1 in Washington's past seven following a win, and the Caps are 9-1-1 UNDER their past 11 home games. The UNDER is 6-1-1 in Washington's past eight games after scoring at least five goals in its previous game. The Capitals have won 15 of 19 against the Pacific Division and 13 of the past 18 meetings with the Canucks. Take the Capitals and the UNDER.
