#53/54 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* OVER 6 Goals - Washington Capitals at Columbus Blue Jackets, Wednesday at 7:07 PM ET - Great set-up for an over here. Washington is coming off a 3-2 win in the shootout last night and the back to back is going to stress the goalie situation for the Capitals. The Blue Jackets are a high-scoring team and the Capitals defense and netminding will be pushed to the limit here. Columbus has seen 7 straight games total at least 7 goals. The Blue Jackets have become a more wide-open free-flowing team and the goal-scoring has picked up as a result. Columbus has played .500 hockey for many weeks now and won 7 of 14 games and averaged scoring 4 goals per game in those 14 games. The issue for the Blue Jackets is that the goal-tending work has really tailed off of late. Columbus has allowed at least 3 goals in 7 of last 8 games. The Capitals also have a goal-tending concern here as their option would be Kuemper playing a 2nd straight game in a B2B which would not be good. The Caps other option (and the expected option) is that Lindgen will get the start tonight. He has allowed at least 3 goals in 6 of his last 8 games. In those 6 games, Lindgren allowed an average of 3.5 goals. The goals should be flying here as the Caps are facing a high-scoring Jackets team that is surging right now but, at the same time, Washington's confidence is surging with B2B wins and victories in 4 of last 6 games. Based on the above, we can't see either team finishing with less than 3 goals in this one given the above and this would translate to at least a 4-3 final. Over is our play here
