The set-up: The end of the regular season is just a couple weeks away. Both of these teams will be in the playoffs. These teams hate each other. The Penguins just won here 5-4 in OT two nights ago. Both teams have similar offensive and defensive numbers, but I think this one sets up great for a lower-scoring goaltenders battle after their recent high-scoring one.

The pick: As note that Pittsburgh has seen the total go "under" the number in eight of its last 12 after scoring five or more goals in an OT road victory in its last outing, while Washington has seen the total dip "under" in eight of its last 11 in trying to revenge an OT home loss vs. an opponent in which it allowed five or more goals in. Expect a hard-fought, but ultimately lower-scoring "under" in the rematch on Saturday night.

This is a 10* TOTAL PLAY-BOOK on the UNDER Pens/Capitals.
