The set-up: The Devils have won two in a row, while the Capitals have gone 2-2 in their last four. Washington should be in a particularly foul mood here though after a 3-0 loss to Columbus in which it outshot the Jackets 30-21. Note that it was the first time all year the Capitals had been shutout and I believe they take out their frustrations on the Devils today. Overall the Capitals average 3.48 GPG and allow 2.80.

The pick: Clearly the Devils won't be going down without a fight as they look to build momentum. Overall New Jersey averages only 2.39 GPG, while allowing 3.39. Six of these team's last eight in this series have flown above the posted number and all signs point to another shootout here in my opinion.
