A pair of struggling defensive teams meet in this one, but both have plenty of offensive punch. Washington has scored 10 goals the last three contests but has allowed 13, losing them all. The Capitals are #18 in goals allowed and are 8-2 OVER the total when playing on one day of rest. Dallas has a losing record in giving up 15 goals in five games to rank #16 in goals allowed. Washington is 20-9 OVER the total after allowing four goals or more and this shapes up as an offensive show. Back the OVER.
