Washington Capitals vs Minnesota Wild Prediction: Who will manage to score points and please their fans?

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on October 28. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Washington in the new season looks quite bad. The Capitals played six games, in which only twice they beat their opponents. They managed to cope with Calgary on a shootout (3:2) and with New Jersey the day before (6:4). But in the other four meetings, the team lost, three times at the end of the main time. So the Capitals have only five points, which is the worst result not only in the Metropolitan Division, but in the entire East. In the Eastern Conference standings, Washington is last.

Minnesota, like Washington, could have started the season better. Overall, its results aren't bad, but many expect more from Kirill Kaprizov's gang. In seven games, the Wild have beaten their opponents three times and lost four times, only once outside of three periods. So with seven points, the team has settled into fifth place in the Central Division standings. We note that after the success with Edmonton (7:4) Minnesota lost to Philadelphia with a score of 2:6.

Specialists of bookmaker companies consider Washington a slight favorite of the match. In general, their logic is understandable, because for the Wild it is the second day of the back-to-back. Right now, the Capitals don't look great, and neither do the Wild, so anyone can win here. It is better to note that the meetings with Minnesota this season are very productive, and in faceoffs the rivals score a lot of pucks. Based on this, it seems logical to bet on the classic total over.
