Washington - Pittsburgh. Betting Tip (cf 2.01) and bets on the NHL match

Washington ended the away series of three matches in a row on a high note. After a poor start and a crushing defeat by the Rangers (1-8), the team went on a visit to Toronto, where they played flawlessly defensively, winning a dry victory (4-0). In particular, it is worth praising goalkeeper Thompson, who reflected all the shots, thereby making a shutout. They managed to consolidate their success in the next match with Ptitsburg, realizing their attacking potential to the fullest and winning another convincing victory with a score of 6:3. It is impossible not to mention the Protasov brothers, who scored a total of five effective actions.

Pittsburgh was in great shape, due to which it earned a winning streak of three matches in a row, and defeated its opponents in all of them. It seemed that by returning to the home arena, the Penguins would be able to prolong the series of successful results, but this did not happen. The club hosted Washington and suffered an unexpected defeat by a three-goal margin (3-6). The Penguins played very poorly offensively, and in three periods they managed to land only 12 shots on the Capitals' goal. Goalkeeper Shilov also failed to meet expectations, reflecting only 83% of shots. Despite the lost points, the club remains in fifth place in the Eastern Conference table.
