Both teams had to play last night. Washington is 29th on the power play. The offense has been in a funk, losing four of five, scoring just nine goals. The defense, though, is fourth in the NHL in goals allowed (2.54 per game) and tied for third in save percentage (.918). Detroit has won six of eight, allowing a total of 18 goals. Take Washington/Detroit UNDER the total.
