10* UNDER Leafs/Capitals (EASTERN CONFERENCE NON-DIVISIONAL TOY)

These teams have been involved in several lower-scoring games of late, but all signs point to a much tighter, and ultimately lower-scoring affair here on Wednesday in our opinion finally. Toronto is 20-8 on the road, but it's off back-to-back losses, including a 4-3 setback at Philly just last night. Note that TO has in fact seen the total go "under" the number in eight of its last 12 after playing to three or more straight "overs" in a row though. Washington has been playing well of late, returning hoe from a five-game Western road-swing by going 3-2 overall, including winning the final three games. Note though that the Caps have interestingly seen the total dip below the posted number in three of their last four after three or more straight victories in a row. Expect these Eastern conference opponents to battle to a classic lower-scoring battle here; the play is indeed on the "under!"
