Washington vs Los Angeles Prediction: We Don't See the Favorite

Prediction for the NHL Washington Capitals vs Los Angeles Kings match, which will take place on October 23. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Washington is frankly unimpressive in the new season. In five games, the Capitals have only two wins and three losses. After their home successes against Montreal (3:1) and Vancouver (6:4), they lost on the road to Ottawa with a score of 2:5. Therefore, Washington is in the Metropolitan Division bottom with four points.

Los Angeles, in their turn, has played five games in the new campaign. It has an even number of wins and losses - three each. In two games, the team lost, then had a successful streak during which they beat Minnesota (7:6), Detroit (5:4), and Nashville (4:3). In the last game, however, Los Angeles was defeated by Pittsburgh (1:6). They are fourth in the Pacific Division standings with six points.

• In their last seven games, Washington Capitals have conceded in the second period.
• Los Angeles Kings have conceded in the first period in the last five games.

We think we should bet on pucks in this meeting. It's hard to pick a favorite - Washington will obviously want to recover in front of their fans after their loss to Ottawa, but Los Angeles also wants to improve after a 1:6 loss to Pittsburgh. The last four games against the visitors and two of the home team have been over. The opponents will surely please us with spectacular hockey here as well.
