Washington Capitals vs Calgary Flames Prediction: We suggest betting on the visitors to win

Prediction for the NHL Washington Capitals vs Calgary Flames match which will take place on October 17th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Washington lost their first official NHL game with new head coach Spencer Carbery. The defeat was an embarrassment - the Capitals lost to Pittsburgh on their ice with a score of 4:0. The Penguins dominated the game, including a 35:19 shot advantage. 

Unlike Washington, Calgary won their first game of the new season. Ryan Huska's start was very successful, as the Flames beat Winnipeg 5:3 with the support of their fans. But the Flames' road trip got off to a bad start when they lost to Pittsburgh 5:2. The loss was not as embarrassing as the one against the Capitals - at least the Flames managed to score twice against the Penguins.

We prefer Calgary in this match. The Flames showed a kind of hockey at the beginning of the new NHL season and beat Winnipeg. At the same time, the Capitals only have a failed game against the Penguins, from which they are unlikely to heal immediately. The Canadian team will be able to perform well and pick up two points. We suggest betting on the visitors to win (including overtime and shootout).
