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.

Record: 23-19, 27 Points
0 Exact Scores, 4 Game Winning Goals

3-2 Senators
GWG: Mark Stone

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.

Record: 22-20, 25 Points

3-2 Capitals
GWG: Evgeny Kuznetsov

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

2-1 Sens

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

Ross
4-2 Capitals
GWG: Evgeny Kuznetsov

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

4-3 Capitals
GWG: Nicklas Backstrom

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