LiontipsBoston - Washington: NHL match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Boston can no longer seriously qualify for the playoffs, as it ended up on the penultimate line of the Eastern Conference standings and was eight points behind the top eight. By and large, the team is already finishing this season and has mentally come to terms with the fact that it will end ahead of schedule for them this year.
At the same time, the bears continue to show disastrous results and lose match after match. Their losing streak currently totals eight matches, and there is no progress from game to game. Before that, the Bruins lost to San Jose (1-3), Los Angeles (2-7) and Anaheim (2-6) on the road, and in the last confrontation with Detroit they lost in a hard-fought fight with a score of 1:2, but again scored only one goal.
Overall, Joe Sacco's team has had too many difficulties creating and executing chances lately and has remained in the lead with fewer than three goals scored. The club's top scorer, David Pastrniak, who scored only one goal and an assist in four previous meetings, also began to score not so many performance points.
Disqualifications and injuries
McAvoy and Lindholm will not be able to help the team in the upcoming meeting.
Interesting betting trends
- Boston gets an average of 10.08 minutes of penalty time per game.
- The bears statistically perform 27 power moves per game.
Current form
Washington continues to show great results and leads the Eastern Conference table by a wide margin in points earned from its closest pursuer. At the moment, of course, the team is going through a temporary slump and has suffered three defeats in a row, but after such a series of failures, as a rule, it gives its best and shows itself in the next match at its best.
The Capitals, after defeating Florida (6:3), lost on the road to Winnipeg (2:3 OT), Minnesota (2:4), and also unexpectedly lost to Buffalo on their ice with a score of 5:8, while playing terribly defensively in that duel. Of course, in the match with the blades, Alexander Ovechkin scored a goal, who had only four goals left before conquering Gretzky's record.
We emphasize that in many meetings, the capitals are distinguished by their excellent performance and open up the defenses of many rivals at least three or four times, which is why they remain the most productive club in the league today. The most successful in their performance is the third segment, in which they have a 99:55 ratio of goals scored and conceded.
Disqualifications and injuries
Oshie and Backstrom will not be able to play in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Washington, according to statistics, conducts 19 power techniques per match.
- On average, the team gets 7.97 minutes of penalty time per game.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In four out of five matches involving the hosts, the first period was inconclusive.
1.82The bet of the 2nd period: the victory of the guests
In three out of five meetings, Boston lost in the second segment.
2.20Tip and bets
In our opinion, Washington should come to its senses in this confrontation and show everything it is capable of, thereby trying to break a long series of defeats. Boston is now an absolutely suitable opponent for this, as it has recently shown terrible results and has been inferior only within the regular time. In class, the guests are superior to their counterpart, so they can also deal with the opponent before the onset of overtime and shootouts.
Betting Tip - Washington's victory in 1.80
Betting on an individual total
In most cases, Washington is very effective and opens up the defenses of many opponents at least three or four times. In previous matches, Boston showed mediocre defensive play and allowed the opponent too much at his own goal, which is why he missed at least five times in three out of five meetings.
We're betting on Washington's individual total of more than three goals in 1.65
Bet on the total total
We expect to see at least six abandoned goals in this confrontation. Washington adheres to the concept of an open style of play and holds many meetings on a collision course. Boston has also played well in recent matches and, as we noted above, has demonstrated a weak defensive game.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.85
