The Capitals have struggled in the past 2 games, including a 2-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks on Monday to kick off their 5-game road trip on the wrong foot. That came on the heels of an embarrassing 5-0 home loss against the Edmonton Oilers on Friday night. The Under has cashed in the past 2 games, and the total has gone low in 13 of 18 games overall.
The Kings are coming off a shutout win against the visiting Montreal Canadiens last time out on Saturday, and Los Angeles has picked up 5 straight victories overall. The Under is 4-1 in those games, too. In addition, L.A. has covered the puck line as a favorite in each of the past 4 wins, with each game decided by 3 or more goals.
