Washington Capitals vs Boston Bruins: After Tampa Bay, the Bears will also beat Alexander Ovechkin's team

Prediction for the NHL Washington Capitals vs Boston Bruins match, which will take place on January 11. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Peter Laviolette's team has been performing poorly. The Capitals are just tired physically. After all, Washington's leaders, led by Alexander Ovechkin, are too experienced to spend an entire long regular season at a high pace.

In the last game, Washington was close to an away win over Minnesota, but conceded in the final minute and lost in overtime with a score of 2:3. It was the Capitals' third straight defeat. Before that, Washington failed to beat New Jersey in overtime at home and then lost on the road to St Louis by four goals.

Bruce Cassidy's team was scared that they might not make the playoffs for the first time in a long time. In their previous five games, the Bears had only lost once with a score of 2:3 at home to Minnesota. In addition, Boston defeated Buffalo and New Jersey at home, thrashed Detroit on the road and in the last game, they beat the Tampa Bay Lightning with a score of 5:2 on the road.

As a result of the excellent run, Boston secured 8th place in the Eastern Conference. The Bruins achieved their intermediate goal, a return to the playoff zone.

Washington is currently in poor form. The team has trouble getting results. On the contrary, Boston is in excellent condition. The team has made progress, outplayed Tampa Bay and will surely take points away from Washington.

Prediction: Boston will be closer to victory.
