Washington vs NY Rangers Prediction: Choosing the Visitors' Victory

Prediction for the NHL match between Washington vs NY Rangers, which will take place on January 13th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Washington is far from their best shape this season. The Capitals are out of the playoff picture as they slip to seventh place in the Metropolitan Division standings. With only 44 points, the team desperately needs to improve. Recent results have not been impressive, with seven defeats in nine games. The day before, Washington lost to Seattle 4-1, although they had beaten Los Angeles 4-3.

The Rangers fans, on the other hand, are happy. How could they not be if the New Yorkers continue to lead the Metropolitan Division standings with 54 points? But still, they used to lead the entire East, and the situation was better. The team has recently had a noticeable slump, failing their last three matches. First, it was a 3-4 shootout loss to Montreal, then 6-3 to Vancouver, and the day before, 5-2 to St. Louis.

The oddsmakers are favoring the Rangers in this game, and we agree with them. No matter how you look at it, the position of the teams in the standings speaks volumes - the New Yorkers are much more powerful. They have also won three of the last four meetings, and the last one was just two weeks ago when the Rangers defeated Washington 5-1. We expect them to win this one.
