LiontipsBoston vs Washington. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (February 12, 2023).
Command Analysis
Boston remain the leaders in the East with a total of 83 points. However, after the All-Stars break, the Bruins dipped in form. They lost three games in a row before getting the upper hand over Toronto (5:2). The Bruins can deliver high performance in attack, but mostly they demonstrate solid defensive play and on average concede about two goals per game.
Washington are in 8th place in the East. Laviolette's men struggle to mount a winning streak, but overall, the team is doing ok. The Capitals haven't played since the break. In the last three games, they defeated Pittsburgh (3:2 SO), lost to Toronto (1:5), and prevailed over Columbus (4:3 ОТ). Washington's main problem is their poor defensive play - they concede at least three goals per game.
