The under is 5-2-1 in Capital's last 8 road games. The over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in Pittsburgh and 5-0 in the last 5 meetings. The numbers all point to the over. These two teams went into overtime a couple of games ago. I am going against the numbers and playing the UNDER in this one. I think this game will be a little tighter game than the last one that ended on 7.

Play on the UNDER. GAME OF THE WEEK
