They\u2019re doing it with shutdown defense from Tyler Myers and phenomenal goaltending from Ryan Miller. We have to take them seriously, even when they travel to Washington, where the Capitals are 10-2-3 this season. After all, they shut the Caps out two weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>You know what you get with Washington \u2013 absolutely explosive scoring from Alexander Ovechkin, Alexander Semin and Nicklas Backstrom, a dynamic power play and a lack of depth on defense. In the end, it\u2019s tough to bet against the Caps at home. Even if Buffalo sicks big Myers on Ovechkin, that leaves Semin and Backstrom free to roam. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #FFFFFF;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bodogaffiliate.com\/resources\/ca-banners\/sportsbook\/square\/250x250\/250x250h-sportsbook.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Sports Betting at the Sportsbook\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/>The Sabres do better offensively against slower teams and the Caps certainly don\u2019t fit that bill. Pick Washington but don\u2019t be surprised if this game falls under the projected total.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sportsbook pick: Capitals<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Chicago Blackhawks @ Detroit Red Wings<\/h3>\n<p>Wednesday, December 23, 7:30 p.m. ET<\/p>\n<p>These aren\u2019t your granddaddy\u2019s Red Wings or even the Wings of last year. As if the Wings weren\u2019t already at a disadvantage after losing Marian Hossa, Mikael Samuelsson and Jiri Hudler to free agency in the offseason, they\u2019ve watched in horror as Johan Franzen, Niklas Kronwall, Valtteri Filppula, Dan Clearly and Henrik Zetterberg have gone down with injuries. Bettors shouldn\u2019t get trapped into wagering on last year\u2019s team.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not even a hot streak anymore; the Hawks have simply been hot all season. They\u2019ve won four straight and are 7-2 in December. Most recently, they shut the Wings out on Sunday night. Since they usually split up Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane, they almost always roll two legitimate scoring lines. Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook may be the league\u2019s most effective defensive tandem. The only real question for the Hawks entering the season was goaltending and Cristobal Huet has answered the bell this season.<\/p>\n<p>Some bettors may worry that the Hawks will be weary after battling the Sharks the previous night but even a tired Chicago team may be better than the group Detroit is currently icing. Pick Chicago, which at least provides decent value on the road.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sportsbook pick: Blackhawks<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/record.bettingpartners.com\/_TcMlrmSOeQxhg6WO2I1rgWNd7ZgqdRLk\/1\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT BODOG.COM&#8217;S NHL HOCKEY BETTING LINES FOR TONIGHTS MATCHUPS!!!!<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong><\/strong><br \/>\n<em><strong>Shea Matthews lives and breathes sports.
