The Washington Capitals visit a slumping Vancouver Canucks squad on Saturday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative:<\/strong> Alex Ovechkin keeps marching closer in his quest to top Wayne Gretzky’s goal record. I’m betting he adds to his lamp-lighter total on Sunday. Additionally, I’m bullish on Jakob Chychrun’s point prop in a plus matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out my Capitals vs. Canucks props for Jan. 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capitals vs. Canucks prop picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Best bet: Ovechkin to score 1+ goals (+137)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ovechkin being an elite goalscorer this late in his career is awe-inspiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Great Eight continues to burn goaltenders with his wicked shot. He has 22 goals in 32 games despite fracturing his fibula earlier this campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s been no discernable drop-off in his play since returning. Ovi has seven goals in 14 contests since coming back to the lineup on Dec. 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He found the net in his most recent contest and there’s reason to believe another marker is on the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Canucks have one glaring weakness this season and that’s goaltending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They own the second-worst save percentage (.881) in the NHL, according to Natural Stat Trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s something the NHL’s greatest goalscorer should be able to take advantage of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington’s power play should present some issues for the Canucks in this contest. The Capitals have the 10th-ranked PP and Ovechkin’s lethal shot remains a staple of its success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bet on Ovechkin tickling some twine on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> Vancouver has allowed 23 goals across its last six games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Chychrun to score 1+ points (+100):<\/strong> Where Chychrun goes, offence follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus-minus has its limitations, but Chychrun is tied for sixth across the league in the category (+21). Simply put, good things happen offensively when he’s on the ice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s something I care about when betting on a player to score a point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also care about point production and he’s supplying that, too. The rearguard has 32 points in 43 contests and has been very effective lately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chychrun has 11 points in 14 games over the last month of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He skates on Washington’s top power play and is second on the team in ice time per game (20:50).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He’ll see plenty of action and should be able to take advantage of Vancouver’s miserable goaltending situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
