Washington Capitals vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction: The home team is in good shape

Prediction for the NHL Washington Capitals vs Detroit Red Wings match, which will take place on December 20. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Washington has finally stepped up and is running to improve its sad situation in the Metropolitan Division. There, the Capitals sit outside the playoff zone with 36 points. The Capitals approach the game with Detroit after four wins and one loss, with a total score of 22:10. Alexander Ovechkin, who scored 20 goals and 15 assists in his age category, is the best team player.

Detroit started so well, but now their game is painful to watch. In ten games, the Red Wings have only been stronger twice, 4:2 over Columbus and 4:2 over Tampa Bay. In the other eight, of course, they have failed. Thus, the Red Wings dropped to 11th place in the East and fifth in the Atlantic Division with 32 points in 30 games. Detroit lost to Ottawa (3:6) in front of their stands in their last meeting.

Washington has looked much preferable to their upcoming opponent of late. Detroit has been showing poor hockey, losing eight of their 14 games on the road. The Capitals are now aiming to break into the playoff zone, and the bleeding Red Wings won't be able to stop them. We offer a bet on a clean win for Washington.
