Capitals vs Rangers NHL Same Game Parlay Picks: Bet Washington (-125) Outright on March 5

The New York Rangers will try to continue their climb in the standings as a slight home underdog on the NHL betting line when the Eastern Conference-best Washington Capitals visit on Wednesday night.

The Rangers have won seven of their last 10 and come into the contest off consecutive shutouts to put themselves in the middle of the wild-card race in the East. However, they have dropped both games versus the Caps this season.

Washington lost three in a row before pulling out a 5-4 shootout victory against Ottawa on Monday. The Capitals are 20-7-2 on the road if you bet online.

• Leg 1: Capitals ML (-125)

Washington’s play has dipped slightly over the last couple weeks. The Caps are giving up more goals and suffered a three-game losing streak at home, per NHL betting trends.

Ottawa’s late tying goal probably didn’t make Washington coach Spencer Carbery happy on Monday, but the win may give the team a boost. Pierre-Luc Dubois led the way with three points for the Capitals, who are 36-25 ATS at the BetUS.com Sportsbook.

With 2 assists tonight, Dubois has set a new career high for helpers w/ 37. “He’s been outstanding for us. Consistency. Playing hard minutes every night. And chipping in offensively…he’s been excellent all year.” #ALLCAPS

Alexander Ovechkin was kept off the scoresheet Monday, but the superstar has nine goals in his last 11 games for the Caps Tom Wilson also has seven goals in nine games. Expect Washington to re-establish dominance.

PICK: Capitals (-125)

• Leg 2: Under 6 Goals (-110)

The Rangers have scored at least four goals in four of their last five games and the Capitals hit that mark in eight of the past 11. There were 19 goals scored in the first two meetings this season as well, per Capitals vs Rangers stats.

So why do we want the under in our NHL same game parlay? We expect the goaltenders to come through and the defenses to step up in this one. Washington is fourth in the league in goals-against and New York is coming off shutouts of Nashville and the New York Islanders.

Logan Thompson and Charlie Lindgren have not been as good for the Caps of late, but Igor Shesterkin allowed just seven goals while going 3-1-0 in his past four. Expect a 3-1 or 3-2 final in this one.

PICK: Under 6 goals (-110)

• Leg 3: J.T. Miller Anytime Goal (+225)

While leading scorer Artemi Panarin continues to put up points, J.T. Miller has probably been the biggest catalyst for the Rangers since being acquired from Vancouver.

Miller has recorded 14 points in 11 games with the Rangers this season, and 10 (five goals, five assists) in the past six. We expect him to be a good player prop bet for your parlay on Wednesday.

PICK: J.T. Miller Anytime Goal (+225)

• Leg 4: Tom Wilson Anytime Goal (+225)

Ovechkin has three goals in two games against the Rangers this season and could move closer to the all-time NHL record with another.

We will look for a bit more game player prop value with Wilson, who had a goal against the Rangers earlier this season. Wilson should be able to work down low against New York’s injury and trade-depleted defense.

Leading scorer Dylan Strome, who has 14 of his 60 points in the last 12 games, is another option with +125 odds for at least one assist.

PICK: Tin Wilson Anytime Goal (+225)
