Washington continues to make every effort to stay inside the playoff zone, although until recently, it was hard to believe that the Capitals would return to the fight for cup places. Fortunately, they believed in themselves and, therefore, began to save the season, gaining points. In the last eight meetings, they have allowed only two defeats, losing both times to Toronto – 3:7 and 1:5, and in the six remaining battles, they certainly won, including against Detroit, which is a direct competitor for them – 4:3. Now Washington is in eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings, two points ahead of Detroit.

Boston is solving much more pleasant tasks at the finish of the regular season, trying to get the Presidential Trophy for the second year in a row. The Bears have already secured their place in the playoff zone, and therefore, it is now important for them to get the highest seeding, which will provide a number of benefits in cup battles. More recently, the Black and Yellow had a very productive period, during which they won six victories with two defeats in eight matches, but the end of March was not so successful for them. In the last four games, they beat only Florida 4:3 and lost three more times, and in regular time. Now, Boston occupies only the third place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Washington is productively conducting the final segment of the regular season, allowing it to remain in the race for cup places. Still, it will be extremely difficult for the capitals to count on success in the upcoming battle. Boston is one of the league's strongest teams, which is a problem for Spencer Carbery's wards. It is curious that the Bears, even in their native walls, hold personal meetings worse than on the ice of the Capital One Arena, where they won in five of the last six inter-fights.

Washington and Boston continue to solve tournament problems at the finish of the regular season. Therefore, it is much more important for them to cling to points now than to play fun, spectacularly, and effectively. For this reason, it is not worth expecting high-scoring activity from the upcoming confrontation. Moreover, the Bears always try to play pragmatically on the road.
