Spencer Carbery's men can be pleased with their performance despite the loss to Detroit. Remember, Washington had a back-to-back where they beat Toronto on the road in the first half, with a three-puck difference - 5:2. The Capitals also managed to take points from Boston in their last outing, scoring three goals and conceding one. The good news for the Capitals is the return to form of Alexander Ovechkin, who has scored two goals in three games. If the Russian striker continues at this rate, he will break Gretzky's record this season.
Minnesota Wild
After the home defeat to Ottawa, John Hynes thoroughly reviewed the team's mistakes, which bore fruit. In the next game, Minnesota beat Nashville 5:3. The Wild's defensive work still leaves much to be desired. In their last five games, only Dallas has failed to find the back of the net at least three times, while Winnipeg, Chicago, Ottawa, and Nashville have all done so. Minnesota will not become the West's leader until their defense shows more signs of life.
Expert Betting Tips
Washington has a better chance of success. Minnesota is fighting for the top spot in the West against teams of equal quality, but it often loses. Recent defeats include Winnipeg, Florida, and Vegas. Capital is also among the favorites, and the match will be played in the nation's capital, where the Capitals have won 12 out of 18 matches.
