|---|---|---|
| NHL | (71) Los Angeles Kings at (72) Washington Capitals | 7:07pm EST - Nov 17/2025 |
The PLAY: Total Over 5.5 (-120)
This is a FREE PLAY on the Kings/Capitals OVER.
As being primarily a situational handicapper, I base almost all of my Over/Under picks, in every sport, on what I perceive to be really great "situations."
And that's the case here, as the red-hot LA Kings are in the nation's capital, looking to deliver another blow to a struggling Capitals team.
LA is 10-5-4 overall, including 9-1-2 on the road, while Washington is 8-8-2 overall, including 4-4-1 at home.
The Kings enter playing extremely well, off four straight wins, including three straight to open this road trip, most recently a 1-0 victory at Ottawa. But with a couple of nights off before a game at San Jose, I think LA will be pushing the pace here and putting the pressure on a Capitals team that's lost four of its last five, including two in a row, most recently a 3-2 shootout loss here to New Jersey.
Darcy Kuemper is 7-3-3 with a 2.44 GAA for the Kings between the pipes, while Logan Thompson is 7-5-1 with a 1.85 goals against for the Capitals.
It's difficult to say anything negative about these goaltenders, really. I just think that they're in the wrong place, at the wrong time on Monday night.
Note as well that the OVER is 12-3-1 in the Kings' last 16 games played on one day's rest, while the Over is 38-16-2 in the Capitals' last 56 games as a home favorite of -110 to -150.
With Washington desperate to snap the slide and needing to match pace with the red-hot Kings, I expect this total to fly OVER the number sooner, rather than later.
Good luck, NP
