The set-up: Both teams have shown hot overall form of late and I think that gets carried over here. The Ducks have won five of their last six, most recently a 2-1 OT win over Carolina on Friday. The Capitals though have been even hotter, having won seven straight, most recently a 6-3 blowout victory over the Devils.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Anaheim has seen the total go "over" in three of its last four after playing to three or more consecutive "unders," while Washington has seen the total go "over" in seven of its last ten after scoring four or more goals in its previous game. This number is low, play the "over."

10*
