Rogers' 3-Game NHL PLAYOFF SWEEPER PASS (BREAK OUT YOUR BROOMS!)
(NHL) Washington vs. Philadelphia,
Money Line: -144.00 Washington (Away)
Result: Win
8* play on Washington.

The President's Trophy winners Washington Capitals were just as dominant as you would expect in the first two contests of their Conference Quarterfinal match-up against the Philadelphia Flyers. I like the Caps to continue their success when the series move to Wells Fargo Center Monday night.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Braden Holtby - The Vezina Trophy frontrunner has certainly made a case for the title by stopping 60-of-61 in this series. He was 23-6-4 with a 2.25 goals against average in 33 road starts during the regular season and allowed just three goals in two outings at Wells Fargo Center.

2. Special Teams - The Caps were a perfect 2-for-2 on the man advantage in Saturday's 4-1 win and are 3-for-8 in the series. The Flyers meanwhile have failed to score on each of their eight chances on the power play.

3. X-Factor - The Caps have won 11 straight Monday night games.

Selection: This is a play on the Washington Capitals (8*)
