Fresh off a victory Friday over Lightning, Atlanta can keep their momentum going with a win Friday on the road at Washington.
The Thrashers play into revenge Friday, after handing Washington an 8-1 defeat in the last meeting back on October 8, 2005.
The Thrashers are road favorites, opening as 155 chalk, with an opening total of 7. They are 4-8-0 this season and 7-5-0 OU. The Capitals are 4-8-0 and are 5-6-1 OU.
Last time out, the Thrashers defeated the Lightning 6-4 as 260 underdogs. That contest went over the closing total.
Washington looks to get its offence in gear today, after a lame display last game resulted in an 8-1 lost to the Flyers. The Capitals were underdogs in that game, which went over the closing total.
You can't expect much in the way of offensive fireworks from Washington. Saddled with the 29th-ranked offence and averaging just 2.2 goals per game the Capitals' offence needs to give its defensive unit some help Friday in order to have a chance against the Thrashers.
Some trends to consider:
Atlanta is 7-3-0 SU in its last 10 games after scoring 5 to 6 goals
Atlanta is 6-2-0 OU in its last 8 games away against Washington
Atlanta is 4-1-0 OU in its last 5 away
Atlanta is 4-1-0 OU in its last 5 games
Washington is 6-2-0 OU in its last 8 games at home against Atlanta
Washington is 2-5-0 OU in its last 7 at home
Washington is 1-4-0 SU in its last 5 games after scoring 1 to 2 goals
Washington is 1-4-1 OU in its last 6 games
Next up:
Atlanta at Philadelphia, Saturday, November 5
Washington home to Toronto, Sunday, November 6
