Alexander Ovechkin is just the best player on the planet at this moment. He just can’t do any wrong these days as he scored an amazing bank shot last night against Nashville which shows that Ovechkin must also be good at pool.

Bet Jamaica sportsbook oddsmakers have the Blackhawks as 135 home moneyline favorites versus the Washington, with the game's total is sitting at 5½ as both teams will be trying to pick up a win as they battle at the United Center in the Windy City.

This is a great NHL betting pick to make as the Capitals are one of the hottest team in the league with the leagues best player in Alexander Ovechkin with 17 points in last 8 games played. His supporting casts of Nicklas Backstrom and Sergei Fedorov are playing at a new level. He Capitals are 7 and 3 in their last tens moneyline games while the Blackhawks are 4-5-1 in their last ten games. So why are the Capitals the underdog? No idea. The online sportsbook are making a mistake for this NHL betting line and as a sports bettor I would capitalize on this game by laying a lot on this game.

Bottom line: The Blackhawks are not the greatest home team with an almost .500 record at 18-16-2 al season long. The Washington Capitals are 4-1-1 in the last 6 meetings in Chicago and the road team is 4-1-1 in the last their 6 meetings. Betting wise the Capitals are 4-1 in their last 5 games as an underdog.
