Command Analysis

Washington Capitals

Current form
At the end of the regular season, Washington began a serious recession. In the last six matches, the team has scored only two victories, and over obvious outsiders. The capitals played away to Boston, where they took advantage of its terrible form and snatched Victoria in regular time (4:3). Goalkeeper Lindgren did not play reliably enough, but the attacking line fully compensated for his mistakes. The club scored its second victory at home, where it confidently defeated Chicago (5-3). The most productive was defender Karlsson, who scored a hat-trick of assists.
After this success, the Capitals went to visit the Islanders, where in the first period they allowed them to earn a significant two-goal advantage, and in the end they were defeated with a score of 1:4. Despite the lost points, this meeting will go down in history, as it was in it that Washington forward Ovechkin broke Gretzky's great record by scoring the 895th goal in his career, thereby becoming the first sniper in the league for the entire time of its existence.
Disqualifications and injuries
Backstrom, Oshie, Protas and Milano will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Washington, according to statistics, gets 8.8 minutes of penalty time.
- The Capitals average 27 shots on target.

Carolina Hurricanes

Current form
Carolina has been in excellent shape for a long time, but a long rise has nevertheless been replaced by a natural decline. The series of defeats has already reached three matches in a row, and all of them ended in regular time. The Hurricanes played on the road, where they met with Detroit and failed to show their reliable defensive game, conceding five goals (3:5). Goalkeeper Kochetkov showed his worst side, reflecting only 80% of shots. The team performed even worse away from Boston, where they failed by a four-goal margin (1:5). The attacking line tried its best to rectify the situation, but only one throw out of 40 reached the goal.
After a complete setback against the Bears, the team faced another outsider in the face of Buffalo. It seemed that now the hurricanes would definitely succeed, but the club did not score a single goal at all, losing dry (0:3). Due to the lost points, the team has already dropped to the fourth place in the Eastern Conference table. If Caroline doesn't come to her senses soon, she may fall even lower.
Disqualifications and injuries
Quarry, Kotkaniemi and Fast remain in the infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- Carolina statistically gets 7.59 minutes of penalty time per match.
- The Hurricanes make an average of 32 shots on target.

1.88Tip and bets
Washington has got a great opportunity to earn extra points and begin to get out of the crisis. The team will play in the home arena, where, by definition, it has a better chance of success. The capitals found Caroline in terrible shape, which also plays into the hands of the owners of the ice. Indeed, the Hurricanes have been losing to obvious outsiders over and over again lately, and they have even stopped giving them a decent rebuff due to their poor offensive performance. So we suggest betting in favor of the capital.
Our betting tip is Washington's victory in the match in 1.97
Bet on the total
Also, in the upcoming match, it is quite possible to expect a large number of abandoned goals. Both teams are not used to sitting on the defensive, preferring to achieve the desired result at the expense of the attacking line. So we choose the total more as the second bet.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.83
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Recently, Carolina has been steadily experiencing serious problems at the start of the match and thus allows its opponents to gain an advantage already in the starting segment. Washington, with the support of the fans, is quite capable of taking advantage of this.
Betting Tip- Washington's victory in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.87
