WAS Capitals vs STL Blues Prediction: who will turn out to be stronger?

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on February 28. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

WAS Capitals

After the break, Washington has had two outstanding duels. First, they beat Pittsburgh 8:3, and then Edmonton, one of the strongest teams in the Western Conference, 7:3. The winning streak was unexpectedly interrupted by Calgary. Who would have thought that being in their own stands, the Capital will not cling to points with an ordinary mid-tier - 1:3. Despite this, they continue to lead the East with a solid ten-point lead over second place.

Alexander Ovechkin is as close as possible to Wayne Gretzky's record. Only 12 goals will separate the Russian forward from perhaps the greatest achievement of his career.

STL Blues

Jim Montgomery's wards will fight to the last for a playoff spot. Now the team has no problems with personnel, which means that the Musicians are able to claim a place in the top-8. Now St. Louis can settle for 11th place in the Western Conference table, and the gap to Vancouver, closing the cup zone, five points. It should be noted that after the end of the break, the Blues have earned points in every game. First they lost in a series of shootouts to Winnipeg, which is the strongest in the NHL, and after beating Colorado and Seattle.

H2H Meetings

Washington is difficult to give points in games with St. Louis. Thus, in the last five face-to-face meetings, the Capitals have two wins against the Musicians' three.

Expert Betting Tips

Bookmakers expect a triumph of Ovechkin and his team, with which we fully agree. The loss to Calgary was a slap in the face for Washington, after which the Capitals will not relax. St. Louis is not the most difficult opponent, especially the meeting will be held in Washington, where the hosts will not be too ceremonious. We suggest not to make up anything and bet on a clean win for the Capitals at a good rate.
