Washington lead this series 3-1 and can close out on home ice in game 5.

Washington vs Montreal: Capitals lead 3-1.

A series price is not available at this time with Players Only however if it were, Washington would be a huge favorite to win (Washington are -1900 to win this series with bwin.com). 

The Capitals have been dominating the Canadiens and the best betting angle on this series now is to take Washington to cover the spread in game 5 with Players Only.  Barring a drastic change in how Players Only compose their hockey spreads, Washington will come in at -1.5 for game 5 and hopefully you will get odds on the longer side of EVEN on that line.

However the Capitals should crush Montreal in game 5 and anything reasonable on the spread should be pounded.

In the futures market Washington are priced at +200 to win the Cup while the Canadiens are at what is likely a season low as they are now +50000 (500/1) to win.  Neither bet is recommendable at this point.  Even though Washington appear to be past the Canadiens, Montreal were never the threat to Washington for the Cup.  The main threats were Pittsburgh and Detroit and those two teams are still very much alive this year.

Washington backers should wait for a longer price on the Capitals as perhaps it may lengthen should Pittsburgh advance tonight.  Montreal backers need to acknowledge that they are licked and they should be looking to bet another team at this point (Pittsburgh at +350).
