The Capitals are 29-17-5-5 this year; on Saturday they lost 4-1 to the Kings (their second loss in a row after dropping a 2-0 game to the Sharks on February 8th).
It's important to note that Washington is a brutal 4-11 (-14 units) this season after scoring 1-goal or less in its previous contest.
On the other side of the rink: The Coyotes are 29-19-6-3 this year; on Saturday the Coyotes beat Chicago 3-2 in a shootout; that was this teams fourth consecutive victory.
Phoenix has routinely "played up to the level of its competition" this season, as evidenced by its 15-11 (+5.2 units) record when playing against a team with a winning record.
Bottom line: Coyotes goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov is white hot; he improved to 4-0-0 with a minuscule 0.98 GAA after beating Chicago last time out; and that's bad news for a Capitals team thats scored two or fewer goals in nine of its last 13 games.
Great line value here; consider a second look at the PHOENIX COYOTES in this contest.

Calgary is coming off its first regulation defeat in a month as it lost 4-2 at Vancouver on Saturday.
This is a "letdown" spot: ?It?s been a pretty good run here and now we just get recharged,? coach Brent Sutter said.
Colorado is struggling right now; it's in the midst of a 0-7-1 streak; its lost three in a row to the Flames in front of the home town crowd.
If you didn't know, Peter Forsberg is back in the NHL again and is playing for the Avs:
?Back-to-back games, first time back with a team, first time back in the NHL. It?s not easy, but certainly I thought the effort was there,? coach Joe Sacco said. ?We tried to manage his shifts appropriately so that he wasn?t caught out there too long.?
Colorado is beyond desperate and catches a Calgary team thats allowed nine goals over its last two contests; all signs point to a home victory!
