LiontipsWashington vs Toronto. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (December 18, 2022).
Command Analysis
Washington are outside the playoffs zone, but they came very close to the top-8. Recently they mounted a five game winning streak, but in the last outing, the team lost to Dallas (1:2). Before that loss, the Capitals confidently defeated Winnipeg (5:2) and Chicago (7:3). Peter Laviolette's men looked great on offense, and forward Ovechkin demonstrated decent performance.
Toronto, unlike their opponents, are having a great season. They are among the leaders in the East with 44 points to their name. But after a long winning streak, the Maple Leafs lost to the Rangers (1:3). The Leafs don't score a lot and play a very closed, defensive brand of hockey. Even on road trips, they rarely concede more than two goals per game.
