Washington Capitals vs San Jose Sharks Prediction: the Capitals are in top form right now

Prediction for the Washington Capitals vs San Jose Sharks match which will take place on December 4. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Washington Capitals

Washington had suffered two straight defeats following Alexander Ovechkin's injury. But Spencer Carbery quickly made up for the Russian's absence, and the Capitals won four straight games. The day before, they beat the Islanders 5:4 in overtime and then New Jersey 6:5 in regulation. Overall, Washington has been in great form this season, and you only have to look at the East standings to see that they're in second place with 35 points.

San Jose Sharks

San Jose started the season with a terrible run of nine straight losses, and it was already clear that there was no chance of them reaching the top of the standings, and even the playoffs seemed a long way off. After 27 games, the Sharks have a record of nine wins, 18 losses, and 23 points, which puts them in 14th place in the Western Conference. However, the Sharks have been on a roll of late, winning three of their last four games. The day before, they came out on top in a back-to-back with Seattle, winning 8:5 and 4:2.

Expert Betting Tips

San Jose has been a joy to watch lately, going from hopeless underdogs to a much more solid team. At the same time, the Sharks are nowhere near as good as Washington - the Capitals are in top form right now, they look great, and second place in the East speaks for itself. If the Capitals do well now, they could find themselves first. Motivation is high, so the Sharks shouldn't give Spencer Carbery's team too much trouble.
