Pittsburgh won the first meeting this season 4-0 in the opening week, and the Penguins currently have won seven of nine (and three straight) after defeating the New York Islanders 3-1 on Sunday. Lars Eller scored twice to back Alex Nedeljkovic, who had 36 saves for the Penguins. Tristan Jarry should be back in net for Pittsburgh and he is 11-11-2 with a 2.46 GAA and .916 save percentage. Jarry has won three of four starts and he has allowed only two goals his past two games, including a 7-0 shutout of the Islanders last Wednesday. Washington is on a three-game losing streak and the Capitals have scored only five goals their past four games following a 3-2 shootout loss to Nashville on Saturday. The Capitals are 6-2 UNDER their past eight games while scoring only 1.75 goals per game. Washington is 6-1 UNDER playing with two days rest and 5-1 UNDER as an underdog of +151 to +200. Pittsburgh has won five straight home games. Take the Penguins and the UNDER.
