The Washington Capitals look like a great home favorite over New York Rangers early on Sunday. The Rangers have won three of their last four, but they took a 2-1 loss at Philadelphia on Saturday. They'll face a Washington team that is playing its best hockey of the season winning two in a row and nine of their last 10. The lone loss during that stretch was a 3-1 loss to the Rangers here at Capital One Arena on March 19, the night after defeating the Rangers 2-1. Kind of a revenge spot for the Caps, and I don't see the Rangers keeping this close.

Rangers are 4-11 in their last 15 games as a road underdog. Capitals are 12-2 in their last 14 games as a favorite. Capitals are 5-1 in their last 6 games as a home favorite. Rangers are 2-7 in the last 9 meetings in Washington.

8* play on Washington Capitals.
