Washington Capitals vs Anaheim Ducks Prediction: Ovechkin Will Come Back

Prediction for the NHL Washington Capitals vs Anaheim Ducks match will take place on February 24th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

Washington could be better. The team is already going extremely unstable this season, risking not getting out of the playoffs, and now it generally has a series of five defeats in a row. It all started with 1-4 from San Jose, then Ovechkin's departure to Russia, and without him, the Capitals lost in four more matches. Moreover, all defeats are based on the main time's results, making the situation even more regrettable. In general, according to the East's standings, Washington is already in 11th place. Now it has 62 points in its asset. And in the standings of the Metropolitan Division, it is sixth.

Anaheim looks sad throughout the current season. The Ducks immediately made it clear they were not going to the playoffs. Currently, the team is in the last position in the Western Conference and Pacific Division standings with 41 points. The Ducks' series of defeats totals six matches. In the past, Anaheim lost to Tampa Bay with a score of 1-6 without the smallest chance.

Both teams have recently shown terrible hockey and have had many defeats. But still, it's not for nothing that bookmakers consider Washington to be the clear favorite of the match – it is much higher class, much more powerful in composition, fighting for the playoffs, and will play with the support of its stands. Ovechkin will come back to this meeting, so he will do everything to help the Capitals get a victory.
