Washington Capitals - Chicago Blackhawks. Betting Tip

Washington still can't start consistently earning points, alternating wins with losses. After an easy 6-3 victory over the Rangers, the team went on a visit to Ottawa, far from the most serious opponent, where they failed to show the same effective offensive game, losing by a one-goal margin (3:4). Goalkeeper Thompson did not play the best way, reflecting only 87% of shots. Despite the lost points, the Capitals remain in the playoff zone, and the club currently occupies seventh place in the Eastern Conference table.

Chicago has been in terrible shape for a very long time, which is why it lost a lot of points. The team dropped to 14th place in the Western Conference table, although for a long time it occupied a place in the playoff zone. However, the hawks have been coming to their senses lately. Playing on the home arena, the team gave a worthy rebuff to the Islanders, losing only in a shootout (2:3), and then defeated the clear favorite in the person of Dallas (4:3). Mikheev played superbly, scoring a double. However, it is worth noting that the Stars themselves were on the decline.
