Back to the ice with two plays tonight on a very small card. We have a very strong play on the totals and a lesser play on a side.
3 Pucks
Detroit and Washington Under 5
The over has been getting some action but we believe the correct play is on the under. This game pits two excellent goalies with Jimmy Howard and Braden Holtby. Detroit has really struggled to score this season ranking near the bottom in PP% and GPG with only 2.25. We don't see Detroit getting on track in this contest against a Washington squad that ranks top 10 in goals against only allowing 2.13 per game. Holtby has been unstoppable thus far this season which makes this play on the under even more appealing. Holtby has a save percentage of .922 and this figure should rise against a poor offensive Detroit squad.
On the other side we have the Washington squad who ranks 10th in the league in scoring but many of those goals are coming via power play goals as they have the 4th highest conversion rate. They are going up against the Detroit squad who is 1st in power play kill percentage so the power play goals are going to be hard to come by for the Capitals. Detroit is also one of the best defensive teams in the league only allowing 2 goals against per contest. Jimmy Howard has a save percentage of .929 and similar to Holtby should rise after tonight. Both teams are excellent as possessing the puck which should lead to very few mistakes.
