In game 5 at the Verizon Center in Washington the Capitals took the game 2-1 in overtime on a goal by Justin Williams at the 1:04 mark. The victory gave Washington backers who risked the large -215 moneyline the money while under bettors went to the window with the three goals falling sharply below the 5.5 closing total line.

The victory by the Caps put them in the driver’s seat with a three games to two series lead. The win was the fifth win on the season for Washington over Toronto to go with three losses. The UNDER in the last game broke off a three game run for the OVER. In this playoff series it has been split right down the middle versus the total with a 3-3 mark.

Washington Capitals at Toronto Maple Leafs Free Prediction

I’m going to go with the Leafs here. Toronto has played well at home this season finishing eight games above .500 and split the four games that they have hosted the Caps. They had every right to win in Game 5 as they carried the play the majority of the game. They will need to get their power play going after going 0/4 in Game 5, but a reversal should be in the cards after having success in most of the games in this series. The value definitely lies on the home side.
