Capitals Still Struggling on the Road
If Washington could just find a way to win on the road they would be a lock to make the playoffs. The problem for the Capitals is that they are just 9-17 on the road this season. What has been happening for the Capitals in road games is that they are going over the total. 16 of their 26 road games have gone over and we’ll look for another high scoring contest on Sunday afternoon.
Back-to-Back for New York
This would be an easy game to make a choice in NHL picks except for the scheduling. The Capitals have had two days off while the Rangers had to play Saturday in Philadelphia. The Rangers have been good at home but they are not unbeatable. Rest could definitely be a factor on Sunday, especially with this being a day game.
Series Trends
The Capitals and Rangers have split their last ten games including both meetings this year. The Rangers won in Washington 6-3 back in November while the Capitals won at home in late December. The Capitals have won six of the last ten in New York with five of the last seven going over the total.
NHL Picks
The Capitals have done well in New York but it is tough to take Washington on the road. We’ll look to the total and expect a high scoring game especially with the Rangers having played on Saturday. Hopefully it will be an exciting game on NBC that has a lot of goals so we’ll go over the total with our NHL picks.
