Washington ended a short and controversial away series of two matches. In the opening match, the team faced far from the most serious opponent in the face of Philadelphia and was unable to play well defensively, allowing the Flyers to realize a large number of dangerous moments at their own goal, and was unable to respond in kind, which led to a crushing defeat (1:4). Goalkeeper Thompson showed his worst side, deflecting only 85% of shots. It seemed that a similar result awaited the capitals and away at Buffalo, but this did not happen. This time, the goal was defended by Lindgren, who played flawlessly, which allowed Victoria to snatch away from the clear favorite in regular time (2:1).
Boston continues to cling to the playoff spot with all its might. The team is on the eighth line in the Eastern Conference table, having an advantage over the nearest opponent by only one point. Bears have been performing erratically lately, alternating wins with losses. The club played a two-match home series, which began with a heavy victory over Los Angeles in overtime (2:1). Next, the Bruins hosted San Jose and could not give a decent rebuff to the outsider, having been defeated with a score of 2:4.
Bookmakers do not believe in the success of Boston, for which there are reasons. The team is just terrible on the road, where the losing streak has already reached seven matches in a row, and most of them ended in regular time. Washington, in turn, has returned to its home arena, where it consistently pleases fans with great results, so it may well take advantage of its opponent's weak form and win another victory with the support of its home stands.
