NYR @ WAS
Well here we are old friend as we get to witness the Capitals again on national TV. Against my team the New York Rangers. As I looked at projected goalies this morning Igor and Kemper were slated to start, then upon publishing that changed to Lindgren. The line still hasn’t changed in terms of ML or Spread so seems like it was the plan all along. The total at 5.5 is a little inflated especially with the Capitals back up, The Rangers have not been playing well as of late either giving up goals left and right. I would stay away from 5.5 the game will likely go over as the game is an early one. I post Bet ESPN lines but this is a case where you pass or shop for the best line, and BET MGM has the total at 6 at -105. If you can find 6.5 you will likely get it at plus money and even more value.
The Play: OVER 6 -105
