Tonight marks a short week of national games as TNT brings a double header with the Isles’ taking on the Capitals (no I won’t stay away from them) and the Kings play host to the Kraken in L.A. Then we will be off for over a week so I hope everyone has a great holiday and make sure to follow @Sporfolio for the NFL Holiday Slate for both best best and DFS!

The Plays:
NYI @ WAS
Here we go again with Washington in the national spotlight. For the fourth time we get to see the Capitals and maybe luck will change as they are FAVORITES to win tonight as the Islanders are coming off a back to back as they beat Edmonton last night 3-1. THe Capitals play host and are slight favorites with back up Charlie Lindgren set to be between the pipes. This line will move even more in the Cap’s favor if that changes and Darcy Kuemper gets the nod. Say it with me # ALLCAPS!
The Play: WAS -120

SEA @ LAK
Seeing Seattle every other week is starting to get boring on national TV. They are clearly not as good as they were a year ago and they are traveling to Los Angeles to take on the Kings. L.A. has struggled mightily at home only winning five of thirteen games, but that will not have me shy away from taking them giving the goal and a half as they are the better team by leaps and bounds and have a +30 goal differential while Seattle is at -20.
The Play: LAK -1.5, +140
