Washington Capitals vs Arizona Coyotes Prediction: Who will turn out to be stronger?

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on March 3. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Washington is having a far-from-great season, but progress is evident. The Capitals are slowly improving, which has brought them close to the playoff zone. They are now fourth in the Metropolitan Division standings and ninth in the overall East standings. They have 65 points, and all chances for the playoffs are there. We also note that Washington has picked up points in six of its past seven games and beat Philadelphia (5:2) the day before.

Arizona looked great for a long time as the campaign progressed, steadily picking up points and even sitting in the playoff zone. But after that, the Coyotes had a serious slump, which caused them to lose a whole bunch of points, and now their playoff appearance seems like a miracle. After all, they have only 53 points and are only seventh in the Central Division table. Prior to last night's game, Arizona had a streak of 14 straight losses, and the day before, they beat Ottawa 5:3.

Washington is considered the favorite in the upcoming battle, and we agree with that one hundred percent. Arizona has 14 wins in 15 previous meetings, a disgraceful result. They managed to beat Ottawa the day before, but they're a much tougher opponent now. Plus, the Capitals are on a good run, consistently picking up points and winning. At home, they have had a series of three victories in regulation three times in a row. Now, we offer a bet on the final victory of the Capitals (including overtime and shootout).
