Pick
Los Angeles comes into this game in second place in the Pacific standings and has won three games in a row, while Washington is battling for a wild card spot and has won three of their last four games. Washington has started to play better after they really struggled for a few weeks around the All-Star break. Los Angeles is 19-9-2 at home and they have held their opponents to only four goals in their last two games. I like the under in this game.
