Dallas Stars vs Washington Capitals: The Capitals don't inspire confidence

Prediction for the NHL Dallas Stars vs Washington Capitals match, which will take place on January 29. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Dallas has had a great tourney. They have four wins in their last four games against Buffalo (5:4), Detroit (5:4 including overtime), Philadelphia (3:1) and New Jersey (5:1). The team is clearly on a roll right now, and they're certainly not going to stop there. Dallas has a good chance of making the playoffs with this kind of play. The club is seven points behind fourth-placed Minnesota, but the gap is slowly closing.

Washington is impossible to recognise. They've had two overtime wins and three losses in their last five games, which is an awful result for such a team. The only thing that saves the Capitals is their 18-point lead over inferior Columbus, or they would have dropped out of the top 4. Washington lost to Vegas (0:1) in the last two games and then to San Jose by three pucks (1:4).

It's a three-way match-up. Washington is a dark horse right now, as they can start to perform as well as they used to at any time. Dallas has played great in the last four games. We think that there will be a large number of goals in the match, and in the end, Dallas will be the winner. Prediction: Total more (5.5).
