Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on January 9. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Capitals are earning points in front of their own stands in a five-game stretch. During that stretch, the Capitals have played two games in front of their own stands that ended in wins - 3:1 over Boston and 7:4 over the Rangers. In the remaining games, the team played away, where they earned only two points - 2:4 from Detroit, 3:4 (B) from Minnesota and 3:4 (B) from Buffalo. Thus, in the East table Washington is located in first place, but all the advantage before the pursuers melted. At the moment the second Toronto has the same number of points as the conference leader - 56.

Vancouver miraculously holds a place in the cup eight of the Western Conference. Rick Tocchet's team has earned only four points in its last five games, beating Seattle in a shootout and being weaker twice outside of regulation time - 4:5 (OT) at the hands of the Kraken and 4:5 (OT) at the hands of Montreal. Despite this, Calgary, St. Louis and Utah, who are lower in the table, are also experiencing problems with their conditioning, thanks to which only they make up the Whales struggle. Thus, at the moment, the competitors have the same number of points - 45.

In the upcoming duel it is worth waiting for the success of Ovechkin and his company. Washington shows great hockey in their stands - 13 wins in 20 games. The Canucks are not looking their best away, losing four of their previous five games. We also recommend betting on the Capitals' goals. They have the best offensive line in the East, scoring 148 goals in 40 games.
