LiontipsWashington Capitals - New York Rangers. Betting Tip (cf 1.62) and bets on the NHL match
Command Analysis
Washington has noticeably slowed down after a confident start. In the previous ten matches, Alexander Ovechkin's team won only three times. Unsurprisingly, such results led to a drop in the Eastern Conference standings to seventh place. We are only one point ahead of Buffalo, which is in ninth place. The day before, the Capitals played away against Florida and were defeated with a score of 3:5.
The Rangers have not been stable throughout the season, and they have not been able to reach a winning streak of at least three matches since November. The team is approaching the upcoming meeting after two defeats in a row from the Islanders (0:2) and Carolina (2:3, OT). It should be noted that New York won the last victory just over its current rival Washington on the road with a crushing score of 7:3. In the standings, the Cops are in 11th place and only two points behind the playoff zone.

1.58Tip and bets
A week ago, the rivals played each other, and the Rangers won confidently with a score of 7:3. Undoubtedly, Washington will be extremely motivated to take revenge today, the hosts do not plan to lose to one of their direct competitors for a place in the playoffs for the second time in a row. The Rangers did not play their last matches in the best way, they showed practically nothing in attack, which will noticeably simplify the task of the Capitals, who have enough problems in defense. We expect that due to decent motivation and the factor of home ice, Washington will be able to achieve victory.
Our betting tip is that Washington will win the match by a factor of 1.62
