LiontipsBoston vs Washington. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (October 7, 2021).
Command Analysis
The Boston Bruins have been inconsistent in the preseason matches. That can be blamed on the regular changes in the lineup; the Bruins often were without their key players, such as Marchand, Bergeron, Pastrnak.
Boston lost the last two games, first to the Rangers in overtime (3:4 ОТ), then to Philadelphia (1:2). The Bruins do not score a lot when their main stars are not present. However, it looks like Bruce Cassidy's men are approaching the next game in their optimal lineup.
The Washington Capitals have lost all their preseason games. The Capitals didn't look particularly poor, but their game was toothless and unimpressive in defense. In two previous games, the Capitals lost to Philadelphia (1:3) and New Jersey (1:4).
In one of the games, Ilya Samsonov, who was supposed to be the main goaltender for Washington, received a lower-body injury and is sidelined indefinitely. Vitek Vanecek, who was good last season, will take his place.

At home, Boston usually play defensively, and in general, the Bruins haven't been opening up in the preseason games. We don't expect more than 5 goals scored in the upcoming game.
