Washington Capitals vs Dallas Stars: Pick
Mason Marchment has opened the new season with a bang. He had two goals, two assists and five shots on goal in the first game against the Nashville Predators.
He followed that up with a goal and an assist against the same team. Since then, Marchment's form has dropped, as he has only had two assists. His total shots on goal stands at 18. This game is a great chance for him to get back on track after a dry spell.
Pick: Mason Marchment Total Points Over 0.5 (-110)
Washington Capitals vs Dallas Stars: Prediction
The head-to-head record in their last ten games is dead even, with each team winning five.
Five of the last ten games have seen more than six goals. However, playing at home gives the Stars a slight advantage.
