CAL Flames vs WAS Capitals Prediction: The guests will be able to perform at their best

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on March 19. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The team has some pretty serious problems, and making the playoffs is an extremely difficult task. At the moment, the Flames are only in fifth position in the Pacific Division standings and 11th in the overall West standings. They have 71 points and urgently need to improve. That's exactly what Calgary is doing - after three straight losses, they beat first Vegas 4:1 and then Montreal (5:2).

Almost everything the same can be said about Washington, which is having a pretty weak regular season. Ahead of the match, the Capitals are on the fourth line in the Capital Division table and ninth in the overall East table. They have 73 points and the playoff zone is very close. If we talk about Washington's past matches, after two defeats, they managed to cope with two opponents - Seattle and Vancouver (2:1 both).

Experts of bookmaker companies consider Calgary as the favourite of the upcoming match, but we still believe that Washington has excellent chances of success. The fact is that the Flames look no better than the Capitals in the course of the season, plus in face-to-face meetings they can't deal with them every now and then - in eight of the previous nine, the Capitals haven't lost at least in regulation time. We think that now the guests will be able to show their best side and earn at least one point in this battle.
