Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on April 21. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Rangers simply showed itself splendidly within the framework of the regular season. The team looked great throughout all 82 games, practically not allowing a long series of defeats. The result was not long in coming, as they finished not only first in the Metropolitan Division table, but also in the overall East table. They ended up with 114 points. Ahead of the playoffs, the Rangers earned victories over the Islanders in the derby (3:2) and also over Ottawa with a score of 4:0.

Until the last meeting, the team had no idea if they would make the playoffs. As a result, the Capitals managed to play their final three games of the regular season in magnificent fashion, with victories over Tampa Bay (4:2), Boston (2:0) and Philadelphia (2:1). So with 91 points in the asset, Washington became fourth in the table of the Capital Division and eighth in the overall table of the Eastern Conference.

We believe that the Rangers will succeed in the first meeting of the series. No matter how you look at it, Washington's chances of success in this series are practically minimal. The Capitals have shown themselves to be great in the last games of the regular season, but we think that they have already jumped above their heads, and they may run out of energy. New Yorkers are much more powerful than the guests, so here we suggest betting on the victory of the home team.
