Pittsburgh flopped in the regular season, and there is no sign of them turning things around soon. They've delayed the rebuild that began a few years ago, signed veterans to older contracts, and are still limited in their ability to strengthen the roster.
The Penguins aren't playing too badly at the end of the regular season. In their last seven games, they have lost twice in regulation, lost in overtime, and won four games. That's good enough for 13th place in the Eastern Conference.
Washington Capitals
With Washington in much the same shape, it was hard to expect the Capitals to challenge for the Cup, but they had a phenomenal regular season. The experienced and skilled team played at a very high level and finished first in the Eastern Conference.
The Capitals lost many points towards the end of the regular season, but during that time, they spent a lot of emotion celebrating Alexander Ovechkin's scoring records. That's largely why Washington has lost seven and won four of its last eleven meetings.

Pittsburgh Penguins vs Washington Capitals Match Prediction 18 April 2025
Pittsburgh and Washington are fierce rivals who had to meet at the end of the regular season. The Capitals spent it at a much higher level, finishing first in the Eastern Conference, while the Penguins remained without a Cup fight. Now Spencer Carbery's men should be closer to success, having won the last two head-to-head meetings by 4-1 and 8-2. As a result, a bet on Washington to win the match.
We can expect the confrontation between Pittsburgh and Washington to be highly efficient. The rivals no longer solve tournament problems in the regular season, so they can afford to be open, spectacular, and aggressive in a game. In addition, it will be important for the captain of the Metropolitans to end such a successful regular season with a goal, so the best option for the prediction is TO 5.5 pucks, and a bet on Alexander Ovechkin's goal is worth a closer look.
Our picks:
W2 (OT) for 1.91 at bet365
TO (5.5) for 1.61 at betway
Ovechkin will Score for 1.61 at 1xbet
