The set-up: I think the bleeding stops here and now for the Captials, who enter having lost three straight and five of their last six. The Devils are the perfect opponent to get back on track against, as they definitely look poised for a letdown after a 2-1 win over the Sharks last time out. Overall the Capitals average 3.47 GPG and they allow 3.03, while the Devils average 2.67 GPG and allow 3.37.

The pick: Washington is 9-2 in its last 11 in New Jersey and because of the three straight losses, I believe it comes in razor focussed on the task at hand. And because of that, that makes this a price in which I have no issues at all in laying.

8* DESTRUCTION on the Washington Capitals.
