Before the startwhat the numbers said, spoiler-free
- The bookmakers make Capitals about 60% to win, counting games settled after regulation. That is about as even as the typical NHL game this season.
- The over/under line is 5.5 goals, lower than 67% of NHL lines this season.
- Worth the replay this season before this one: Capitals 2 of 8 games, Kings 1 of 6.
Verdict
worth it
