Washington vs St. Louis Prediction: the Blues to Gain Points

Prediction for the NHL match between Washington vs St. Louis, which will take place on January 19th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Washington hasn't impressed us this season. The Capitals' fans expect more from their favorite team but are still outside the playoffs. Currently, they sit in fifth place in the Capital Division standings with 48 points. We should note that recently, Washington managed to beat the Rangers with a score of 3-2, then lost to them (1-2), and the day before, defeated Anaheim (2:0).

On the other hand, St. Louis is almost as good as Washington. The Blues are not the sharpest tool in the shed either, desperately fighting for a playoff spot. They sit in sixth place in the Central Division standings with 42 points. After beating the Rangers, St. Louis lost to Boston 4-3 in overtime and then to Philadelphia 4-2 in regulation.

Bookmakers consider Washington the favorite for the upcoming game, while we think St. Louis should not be written off. The Blues do not look any worse than the Capitals this season, and they had an extra day of rest to prepare for this match. In the last six H2H meetings, the visitors haven't lost to the Capitals in regulation time and have won five of them - we think they'll manage to get at least one point this time around.
