T.M. Selection: Capitals (8*).

Washington led this game 2-0, until the Isles exploded for four goals in a span of 13 minutes in the third period. It was a little unexpected, considering how well Washington looked up till that point. But the Caps are an experienced team and they've been through adversity and a little "hiccup" like that won't deter this veteran laden squad in my opinion. The Isles' strength is their depth across the four lines and comptent goaltending. But with their backs against the wall, I believe Alexander Ovechkin and the stars on Washington "steal the show" in Game 2. Lay the short price!

T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Caps.
