| NHL | (75) Washington Capitals at (76) Carolina Hurricanes | 7:00pm EDT - May 12/2025 |
The PLAY: Washington Capitals +1.5 (-135)
Capitals. PL (+1.5 goals) With the Hurricanes fairly heavy favorites on the moneyline, we're able to get an extra +1.5 goals with the Capitals on the puck-line, for a relatively reasonable price. With so many close games in the playoffs, that's extremely significant. Entering Sundays game, we've been seeing at least a 1-goal game every day, all week. We've already seen one game in this series go to OT. Another was a 1-goal game until an empty-net goal with a minute to go. While the Canes are a great team, the Caps had an amazing season. In a very important game, I don't expect them to go down without a fight.
