There were 10 goals scored when the teams met on Oct. 25 with the Capitals pulling out a 6-4 road victory. It marked the fifth time in the last seven games in the series the Over has cashed.

I doubt we'll see another combined 10-goal game, but I do envision each team producing at least three goals.

Washington has gotten its offense into gear more after a slow start scoring 3 or more goals in four of its last six games. New Jersey is the 29th-ranked defensive team in the league. The Devils have permitted 3 or more goals in 11 of their 12 games.

The Devils, though, rank No. 5 in scoring and have the best power-play in the league.
