Both teams have below average defenses and each has been on at least three days rest. So expect fresh legs and a lot of attacking. The expected return of Evgeny Kuznetsov to Washington's lineup is a plus, too, for the Over.

The Capitals have gone Over 75 percent of the past 22 times they've been idle for at least three days. The Over has cashed in all three instances this season for Washington when that situation has come up.

The Devils have been a strong Over road team going above the total in eight of their 11 road games.

There has been six or more goals scored in each of the last five games between the two teams.
