Washington Capitals: form and statistics

Washington performed quite well last season. The Capitals had an outstanding regular season, but they didn’t achieve much success in the playoffs. Yes, they managed to knock out Montreal in five games (4–1), but against Carolina, Spencer Carbery’s team couldn’t do much (1–4 in the series). During the offseason, the Capitals didn’t make any big moves on the transfer market, but they managed to keep their core intact. In the preseason, Washington took part in six games, winning five of them.

Boston Bruins: form and statistics

Boston was extremely poor last season. At one point, it seemed that Joe Sacco would still manage to lead the Bruins to the playoffs, but toward the end, his team completely fell apart — and to make matters worse, Brad Marchand left for Florida. In the summer, the Bruins were taken over by Marco Sturm, who doesn’t yet have any major achievements in his coaching career. There were no standout signings either, but in the preseason, Boston looked solid — four wins in six games.

Washington Capitals vs Boston Bruins match prediction 9 October 2025

It’s quite difficult to assess the current form of both teams. The only conclusions can be drawn from the preseason, where both Washington and Boston performed well. However, we should pay attention to their most recent meeting — on October 3. Back then, at Capital One Arena, the Capitals — almost at full strength — lost to the Bruins, even though Marco Sturm fielded mixed line combinations. We believe that with Swayman, McAvoy, and Pastrnak in the lineup, Boston will have even greater chances for success. Washington is not exactly a solid, unified force at the moment. Our main pick for this game is Boston not to lose in regulation time.
