Claim Your Welcome Bonus!Washington consolidated in eighth place
The playoff participants in the East have been known for a long time. One exception is Washington, who sit in eighth place, chased by Columbus and the New York Islanders. However, the good streak of 7 wins in 8 games let the Capitals achieve what they want. Approaching the matchup with Dallas, they have a comfortable 13-points advantage over the ninth place in the conference.
In the previous game, Washington defeated Carolina, 4-3, in a shootout. Another psychologically important win for the Capitals over one of the leaders in the East.
Dallas lost four of five games
While Washington has had a good stretch, Dallas has been losing more often lately. The Stars have 4 losses in their previous 5 games. Rick Bowness' team is still out of the West's playoff zone. Dallas is 9th in the standings and 3 points behind the top 8.
Dallas couldn't beat the visiting New York Islanders in their last game. 2-4 – the outcome was decided in the third period when Islanders forward Brock Nelson scored a hat-trick.
Injured reserve
- Washington: Carl Hagelin and Lars Eller will not play. T.J. Oshie is questionable;
- Dallas: Miro Heiskanen will not play. Braden Holtby is questionable.
Head-to-head encounters
The first game of the season series ended in a 0-5 home loss to Dallas.
Expert Betting Tips
Washington won several important matches, strengthened in the playoff zone of the East and now can slow down a little. Dallas, on the other hand, has yet to enter the first eight in the West, so they need some good results. Besides, the Stars lost to Washington in the first game of the season series and will surely do everything they can to get revenge.
Prediction: Dallas will be closer to success.
