Great morning slate here and I absolutely love this game. We are most likely getting Logan Thompson vs Andrei Vasilevskiy, two of the best goalies in hockey. Both of the pair rank top 5 in the NHL in Goals Saved above expected, with Thompson ranked #1 and Vasi ranked #5 in the NHL. The Capitals have hit a small rut in their last 2 games, finally being unable to score against some decent opposition. Being a team who is struggling to score when Vasi has hit an unreal level of late is not what you want to see. Vasi has had a .915 Save percentage in 6 straight games. Now this play doesnt come without risk, these are 2 very good offenses. Im betting on the fact that the early start, which typically leads to mistakes and teams not skating till they get into the game. Now, I like the Under 6.5 BUT i really like the under 1.5 1st period so we don’t need to worry about the empty net game. Running Under 1.5 goals at +110 on the first.
