Adnan
6-3 Capitals
GWG: Alex Ovechkin
The Capitals are the best team in the league. They are at home. They will have a few hours of extra rest compared to Ottawa with both teams on a back-to-back. Hopefully Erik Karlsson gets a point or two since Braden Holtby might be rested.

Doing the whole "reverse psychology" thing here and predicting that the Sens will outplay a much better team after Washington had to work hard to beat the Rangers on Saturday afternoon.

Coming off a big OT win on Saturday night, the Sens come out a bit flat early on against Ovechkin & Friends.

GWG: Kyle Turris
Kyle Turris busts out of his slump in a big way with two goals and The Hamburglar is spectacular as the Sens steal one in Washington

GWG: Evgeny Kuznetsov
Ottawa can't hang with one of the top two or three teams in the league, but goaltending keeps it close.

The Capitals are just such a good team, and there's no way I'm betting against them while playing Ottawa at home.
