LiontipsWashington - Detroit: NHL match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Washington completed an away series of three matches, which turned out to be quite successful in the end. In the first match, the team faced Anaheim and left no chance for the obvious outsider, defeating him with a score of 7:4. It is difficult even to single out any of the players, as many distinguished themselves with effective actions. It turned out to be beyond the power of the capital to consolidate its success. Visiting Los Angeles, they suddenly had problems both creating and implementing attacking chances, which led to a dry defeat (0:3). The club shows such results very rarely, as it has a powerful attacking line.
As expected, the Capitals easily regained the lost points, defeating the weakest team in the Western Conference, San Jose (5:1). Once again, striker Ovechkin scored a goal and gave an assist. Thanks to stable wins, the club continues to confidently hold the lead in the Eastern Conference table, having a 10-point advantage over its closest competitor.
Disqualifications and injuries
In Washington's infirmary, everything is unchanged. The team continues to play without Backstrom, Oshie T.J. and Milano.
Interesting betting trends

Current form
Detroit has been showing mixed results lately. After a complete failure in the away series, the team returned to the home arena, where it interrupted its long string of failures, defeating Buffalo with a score of 7:3. Many players distinguished themselves with effective actions, and striker Kane showed himself best, scoring a double and giving three assists. After this success, the team went to play on the road again, where they could not cope with the obvious favorite in the person of Carolina (2:4). The defensive line failed, which allowed the hurricanes to create a huge number of dangerous moments in their zone.
Few people could have expected that the wings would so easily regain their lost points in a duel with Vegas. The team played much more reliably defensively, allowing the Knights to make only 18 shots in three periods. Goalkeeper Mrazek also scored, deflecting all shots, which allowed him to win a 3-0 victory. So far, the club occupies only the 11th place in the Eastern Conference table, but the gap from the playoff zone is only two points.

Kopp, Mazur and Petrie will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.

2.29Tip and bets
Washington is the clear favorite in the upcoming match, for which there are certain reasons. The capitals continue to be in optimal shape and consistently earn points, which cannot be said about unstable Detroit. It is also worth noting the fact that the Red Wings are showing themselves at their worst on the road, where they have not been able to succeed for four consecutive matches. So the owners of the ice have excellent chances of success.
Our betting tip is Washington's victory in 1.74
Bet on the total
Both teams are not used to holing out on the defensive and mostly prefer open, attacking hockey, which, in turn, constantly leads to a large number of abandoned goals. We believe that we should expect a productive game in the upcoming match.
Betting Tip – total more than six goals in 1.78
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Washington, due to its excellent form and the advantage of home walls, will create serious problems for Detroit at the beginning of the match. The capitals, with the support of their stands, should win in the first period, which is what we propose to bet on.
Betting Tip – Washington's victory in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.50
