This game is going to be lower scoring. I don’t trust this Capitals offense, especially on the road and they are going to struggle again in this game. Anaheim’s offense is ranked 31st in the league, and they are also going to really struggle to score here. This game is going to be a 2-1 or 3-1 type of game and the under is going to cash here.
