Washington at Pittsburgh

Washington snapped a four-game skid with a 6-1 win over St. Louis last night as Alex Ovechkin scored his 900th goal. However, now the Capitals have to play a back-to-back, and they have scored a total of only five goals in their four previous games. Charlie Lindgren will likely get the start for the Capitals, and he is 1-2-1 with a 3.46 goals-against average this season. Lindgren has allowed 14 goals in his past three appearances. Arturs Silovs is probable for Pittsburgh with a 3-2-2 mark and a 2.66 GAA with one shutout. The Penguins have won four of their last five games, playing on two days' rest, and have won 21 of their 28 Thursday games. The Penguins have won 10 of their past 14 home games, while Washington has lost six of their seven games against teams with winning records. Take the Penguins.
