Command Analysis

Carolina Hurricanes

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.

Washington Capitals

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.
- According to statistics, the Capitals make only 24 shots on target.

3.40Tip and bets
We think that Washington should not be underestimated in this confrontation at all. The Capitals have been playing great throughout the season and are a very uncomfortable opponent for Carolina. It is far from certain that the home stands will be able to help the Hurricanes much in this confrontation. Moreover, in previous matches, the hurricanes rarely achieved success within regular time, so it is likely that this time the capitals will be able to bring things to overtime.
Betting Tip - Washington won't lose in 1.98
Betting on an individual total
Washington has shown good defensive play in past fights and has managed no more than two missed goals. In the opening two meetings against Lice, Carolina had difficulty creating and implementing chances and remained with one goal in the asset in regular time. It is likely that she will not be able to score four times on her own ice.
We're betting on Carolina's individual total of less than 3.5 goals for 1.60
Bet on the total total
In previous matches, the teams played against each other very carefully and tried to make as many mistakes as possible at their own goal. It is likely that the third match of the series will turn out the same, and the clubs will not take unnecessary risks, as they are well aware of the power of their attacking lines. We think that once again we won't see more than five goals.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.90
