ANALYSIS

We are projecting a high-scoring environment as Montreal enters the second leg of a back-to-back following yesterday's 6-3 win, fueled by an offense averaging 4.0 goals per game over their last 10. With these teams having combined for 12 goals in their previous matchup and Washington navigating key defensive absences like Tom Wilson and Jakob Chychrun, the statistical path to clear 5.5 is extremely favorable.
Key Data
Capitals xGF per 60: 8th, Canadiens xGA: 31st, Model Probability: 0.60

OUTCOME

Capitals 3 - Canadiens 2 (OT)
Stellar goaltending from both sides limited scoring despite 65 combined shots. Washington's defensive zone discipline prevented high-danger chances in front of the net, keeping the game to a 2-2 tie in regulation and under the 5.5 total.
