Washington Capitals at Ottawa Senators

Is there a more embarrassing feat than losing to the Toronto Maple Leafs? The league’s worst team notched a 2-1 shootout win over the Caps on Saturday night.

“I’m not happy with how I played today, and I’m not happy with how my line played today,” Caps superstar Alexander Ovechkin told The Washington Times. “Yeah, we score one goal, but we have to score more. If we have more ice time than everybody, then we have to use it.”

The under is 2-1-1 in Caps games since Ovechkin returned from injury. Monday might be the perfect situation for Washington to break out of its offensive slump.

Ottawa isn’t expected to have starting goalie Pascal Leclaire between the pipes. The former Blue Jacket suffered a lower body injury Saturday vs. the Sabres that forced him to leave the game at the start of the third period.

Pick: Over



Detroit Red Wings at Nashville Predators (-104, 5.5)

How about those Predators? Not much was expected of the club after a 2-6 start but things are much brighter these days for Tennessee hockey fans thanks to Nashville’s 9-2 run over the last 11 games.

Preds players point to the squad’s disciplined style of play as the main reason for the recent success. No team in the NHL spends less time in the sin bin than Nashville.

“It keeps a better flow to the game – more guys rotating regularly out there on the ice,” defenseman Dan Hamhuis told the Tennessean. “When you’re killing penalties, your penalty-killing forwards are getting (overworked) out there and your skill guys are sitting on the bench getting cold. Those are the guys that will get goals for our team.”

The Red Wings have been playing better recently but they were struck by the injury bug again. Niklas Kronwall, a top-four defenseman, is expected to miss at least two weeks because of a knee injury suffered Saturday against Montreal.

Kronwall joins a crowded group of black and blue Wings. Forwards Johan Franzen, Valtteri Filppula and Jason Williams are all watching from the press box these days.

Pick: Nashville -104
