Taking that into consideration, along with the Capitals being shut out 3-0 to the St. Louis Blues in their last game, the Capitals are +147 road underdogs on Tuesday against the Wild, who are riding a two-game winning streak.
Guttman has been in the lineup for 12 of the last 13 games but will join Lukas Reichel as a healthy scratch to allow Ryan Donato and Nick Foligno to make their returns to the lineup. The 24-year-old Guttman has eight points (4G / 4A) in 27 games this season.
