Washington at Ottawa

Yes, Brian Elliott did a stand-up job in last game in relief of Pascal Leclaire, but he is still the backup. Washington has their own injury issues, but they still have Ovechkin, are coming off a couple of days of rest, and they are simply the better team here. The Caps are 35-18 vs. teams that score 2.9+ goals per game, dating back to last season. I like them to get the win here.
