Command Analysis
Washington Capitals
USACurrent form
Washington showed impressive results throughout the regular season, avoiding prolonged slumps, which allowed the team to advance to the playoffs from the first place in the Eastern Conference table and enter the clear outsider in the person of Montreal. The Capitals began their Stanley Cup performance at their home arena, where they immediately proved their superiority over the Canadiens, scoring two victories. However, in one of them the opponent made a comeback, which almost led to defeat, but still managed to snatch Victoria in extra time.
After that, the capitals went to play on the road, where they still failed, and with a defeat (3:6). As expected, this failure did not affect the morale of the team in any way, and he immediately rehabilitated himself in front of the fans, defeating the Canadians twice with a score of 5:2 and 4:1, respectively.
Disqualifications and injuries
Backstrom, Fehervari, Milano and Oshie will not play in the upcoming meeting due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends

Carolina Hurricanes
USACurrent form
Right at the end of the regular season, Carolina had a serious recession, which could have raised doubts about the club's successful start to the playoffs, which it completely dispelled in the first series with New Jersey. We can say that the Hurricanes were lucky to have a competitor, as the Devils enjoyed their game until about the middle of the championship, and after that they seriously slowed down, which was especially noticeable during the Stanley Cup.
The Hurricanes successfully took advantage of the home walls, winning two landslide victories (4:1 and 3:1), and then went with a comfortable advantage to play on the road. However, the Hurricanes did not play so reliably defensively, which led to the only defeat in the series (2:3 OT). In the remaining matches, Brindamore's players realized their attacking potential to the fullest, first defeating New Jersey (5:2), and then snatching Victoria in overtime (5:4).
Disqualifications and injuries
Fast will definitely not take part in the upcoming match. Aho and Robenson are also questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Carolina gets 9.2 minutes of penalty time per match
- The hurricanes completed 31% of the majority attempts

It is quite difficult to determine the winner in the upcoming match. Both teams played a great game in the first round of the playoffs and are now ready to continue delighting fans with successful results. Despite this, the bookmakers still prefer Caroline, although she will perform on the road, where it is not easy to prove herself. The Hurricanes are not playing as well away as with the support of their home stands, which the capital will try to take advantage of. We believe that the owners of the ice, at least, will not lose in regular time.
Our betting tip is that Washington will not lose in 1.62

The upcoming match should be effective. Both teams have a powerful attacking potential and try to realize it in absolutely every match. We believe that this meeting will not be an exception, which means that we should expect active hockey and a large number of abandoned goals.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.86
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Washington is showing a great game in the first period, especially playing at home. The support of the native stands should help the capital create serious problems for Carolina, which is what we propose to rely on.
