Anaheim Ducks vs Washington Capitals Prediction: What should we expect now?

Prediction for the NHL Anaheim Ducks vs Washington Capitals match, which will take place on March 2. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Anaheim doesn't surprise anyone this season. The Ducks are not fighting for the playoffs, just playing without pressure at their pleasure. Before the meeting, the team is in the last positions in the Pacific Division's tables and the entire West. They have just 47 points. Nevertheless, even without tournament motivation, the Ducks have produced three wins in their last three games. First, Anaheim beat just Washington (4:2), then Carolina (3:2), and then Chicago in a battle of outsiders with a score of 4:2.

Washington is disappointing more and more. The Capitals are in a severe crisis, and the question of making the playoffs this campaign is critical. Even if the Capitals can climb from 13th in the Eastern Conference table to eighth, what will they do in the playoffs with such terrible play? In their previous eight games, the team has one win in seven straight losses. In the past, Washington has lost to Buffalo by a score of 4:7.

It would seem that Washington is facing a hopeless outsider in the West - the favorite is obvious. But given what's been happening with the Capitals lately, it will be challenging for them. They will need to show their best qualities. Nevertheless, we think that Ovechkin and the company can win. Their playoff chances are highly questionable, so we need to act here and now. It's also a great chance to take revenge for their loss to the Ducks just a week ago.
