Vegas is having the worst regular season in its history. Never have they had trouble making the playoffs. Now they risk missing the cup battles for the first time. They finished the regular season in poor condition, losing four of their last six games. The Knights currently sit just ninth in the Western Conference standings.
Washington Capitals
For Washington, the current regular season cannot be called a success either. The Capitals, however, could still put on an excellent performance at the end of the season, which allowed them to produce six wins in their last seven games. Washington kept its eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings, guaranteeing a place in the playoffs.
Expert Betting Tips
Vegas and Washington are the neighbouring teams in their respective conference standings. While the Knights are ninth in the West, the Capitals are eighth in the East. The motivation in the standings speaks for the Black and Gold, as they continue their playoff battle and Peter Laviolette's men have already advanced to the cup battles. However, the day before, the home team also needed points, but lost to an unmotivated New Jersey, so now we have to bet on Washington to win the game for 2.224.
In the previous 12 meetings with the Capitals, they scored 94 goals (7.83 average per game). Vegas is much more modest in their scoring record, but that's of little concern to Peter Laviolette's squad, who've already secured a playoff spot and can now play offensively. With that in mind, we suggest betting on a total over 6.5 for 2.21.
Alexander Ovechkin continues to chase Wayne Gretzky to become the best scorer in NHL history, but his main goal is the 50 goal mark in the current regular season. The Russian Washington forward currently has 48 goals with six games left. The 36-year-old hockey player is in excellent form now, as evidenced by his six goals in the last seven games. In such a situation, we suggest betting on Alexander Ovechkin's goal for 2.05.
