LiontipsWashington vs Detroit. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (October 28, 2021).
Command Analysis
In the first matches of the regular season, Washington demonstrated that they will fight for the leading positions in their division. The Capitals go forward every time they have a chance, and have already scored quite a large number of goals.
Washington defeated Colorado (6:3) and New Jersey (4:1), and had an intense battle with Calgary, which they lost in overtime (3:4 OT). However, Peter Laviolette's men made a quick recovery after that defeat and crushed Ottawa in a real barn-burner (7:5). T. J. Oshie had a fantastic game and netted a hat-trick.
Detroit, on the other hand, risk being the main outsider. The club did not really strengthen their roster in the offseason, but the team has no injuries so far, and all the leaders are in the ranks. The Red Wings lost to Calgary (0:3) and Montreal (1:6), but prevailed over Chicago (6:3). Lucas Raymond scored three goals against the Blackhawks.
Blashill's charges will struggle to compete with the leaders of their division, because only two of their lines are creating scoring chances, while the rest spend most of their time on the defensive.
