Washington Capitals vs St. Louis Blues: Capitals will be closer to success

Prediction for the NHL Washington Capitals vs St. Louis Blues match, which will take place on March 23. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Washington is slowly picking up their form. At the moment, the Capitals are only eighth in the Eastern Conference standings, but their lead over their rivals is very solid, so they are likely to make the playoffs. Also, they've shown excellent results now. The team have only been winless once in their last nine games, losing to Dallas (2:3) and Edmonton (3:4), but they have won their last seven games without fail.

St. Louis has the exact opposite situation. They have been going steady for a long time, but recently they have suddenly had problems with results. In their previous nine meetings, the Musicians could only beat Nashville (7:4) and the Rangers (6:2) and in the remaining seven meetings, they suffered defeats. The current losing streak is now three games in a row for the Blues. Nevertheless, St. Louis currently remains in third place in the Western Conference standings, but they are already 16 points behind the leader.

Washington is having a slightly worse regular season than St. Louis, but the Capitals are in better shape for the encounter. If Peter Laviolette's charges managed seven wins and two losses in their last nine meetings, the musicians have the opposite statistics. They lost seven games and two wins. Now the home team is the favourites, and you can bet on Washington to win the match for 1.71.

Washington and St Louis are the last two Stanley Cup winners before Tampa Bay's triumphant years. In the upcoming game, we will see a play-off-level battle. The Capitals and Musicians will try to prove themselves against a tough opponent, so do not expect a bright and attacking encounter. With this in mind, we suggest betting on a total under 5.5 for 2.27.

Tom Wilson is having another strong season. The Canadian forward continues to make devastating moves and is very good on the offensive line. In 60 regular season meetings he's already scored 42 points (18 goals + 24 assists), making him one of the Capitals' top three scorers among forwards. In such a situation, we suggest betting on Tom Wilson Total Over 0.5 for 3.7.
