NHL – FREE PLAY: Lightning (57) vs. Capitals (58)

I am taking the Capitals. The Tampa Bay Lightning will be on the road to take on the Washington Capitals. Tampa Bay has one win and two losses, while the Capitals have two wins and one loss. Tampa Bay is putting up 3.5 goals on 21 shots per game. On the defensive end, they are giving up five goals per game on 31.5 shots over three games. Washington has struggled on the offensive end, scoring just two goals and taking 28.7 shots per game. Defensively, they are giving up 1.67 goals on 31 shots per game. Washington will find the back of the net a couple of times, and their defense will keep the puck out of the net. Washington will ride their defense to a home win.
