The Colorado Avalanche (45-13-10) is the 1st team in the league to have eclipsed 100 points for the season and holds the top spot in the league. While they are still sitting at the top of the standings, they have had some struggles recently. They have lost 3 of their last 4 and 4 of their last 6 games. In their 4 losses, they have scored just 7 total goals. Their most recent game was a bit promising as they defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1 and snapped a 3-game losing streak. Now, they have their eyes set on the Washington Capitals, a team they defeated back in mid-January 5-2.
The Washington Capitals (35-27-8) will host the Avalanche early Sunday afternoon. Unlike their opponents, the Caps have been playing well lately. They have won 3 of their last 4 and are eyeing a 3-game winning streak, if they can pick up the win Sunday. They have held their last 2 opponents to just 1 goal in each of their last 3 wins. Logan Thompson has been the man in the net for their last 2 wins, and has stopped 64 of the 66 shots he faced. He is slated to be in the net once again here against Colorado.
Colorado has had recent struggles on the offensive end, and the Capitals' ability to stifle their opponents lately with good goaltending leads to play under the total in this matchup.

Our Washington Capitals vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction
While the Caps allowed 5 goals in the last meeting with Colorado, Logan Thompson was not in their net. It was Charlie Lindgren who stopped on 39 of the 44 shots in the previous meeting. And do not be fooled, Washington is not a team that is going to put up a ton of goals themselves; they rank around the middle of the league in goals scored.
Our prediction for Washington Capitals vs Colorado Avalanche: Over 6.5
