Carolina Hurricanes - Washington Capitals: NHL match betting tip

Current form

Carolina has been looking pretty stable throughout the season and it's no coincidence that she finished her regular season performance among the leaders. From the position of the first number, she acted in the last series with New Jersey, so she achieved success with a score of 4 without any problems.:2. By the way, back then she managed without a single defeat on the home court.

Note that in the opening meeting with Washington on the road, the Hurricanes also celebrated Victory (2-1 OT), but the second match was unsuccessful for them, and they were defeated by a score of 1.:3. Then Rod Brindamore's team did not manage to play so reliably in defense, and his game did not really stick together in attack, which left the club with only one abandoned puck in 28 shots.

As a rule, Carolina counts the most on the third period of the game, because she is very good at adding in the end and currently has an 8:3 ratio in this period in terms of goals scored and conceded.

Current form

Washington looked great during the regular season and continues to delight its fans with a beautiful playoff game. The team looks pretty confident on the court and tries to maintain a balance between defense and attack. Let's remind that before the meeting with Carolina, the Capitals easily dealt with Montreal with a score of 4:1.

Let's emphasize that the capitals have always relied on a powerful offensive game and made great use of their chances. So, on average, they send at least three or four goals into the opponent's net. However, in straight-out matches, the team does not play the best way in the majority, and at the moment it has only 22.2% of excess sales, ranking 11th in this indicator.

But the playoffs are going great for Dylan Strome, who has scored points using the goal+pass system in all but one match and has already scored 10 points, so he is the top scorer in the squad. Of course, it won't be as easy on the road as it is on its own ice, but during the season the club faced various unpleasant situations, from which it got out with its head held high.

Disqualifications and injuries

Backstrom, Fehervari, Milano and Oshie will not play in the upcoming meeting.

Interesting betting trends

• On average, Washington gets 9.43 minutes of penalty time.
