The spectacle in Canada's capital city would not have happened if the Capitals' defense and goaltending had been all right. Their defensive woes would likely keep Washington from making the playoffs, but for now, they are a joy for hockey fans.
In Ottawa, the Capitals led 4-1 in the first period, allowed their opponent to come back and tie it up in the second half, then took a 6-4 lead, missed again, and as a result managed to retain the advantage with a 7-5 win in the end. T.J. Oshie scored a hat trick, and Alexander Ovechkin had a double-double, moving two goals closer to Wayne Gretzky's record.
Detroit are also trying to play attacking hockey
In contrast to Washington, Jeff Blashill's team has not always succeeded, but they also put on plays of their own. For example, in the previous game, when the Red Wings crushed Chicago 6-3 on the road. Lucas Raymond notched a hat trick in this win, which was even more valuable. The Swedish newcomer fits perfectly into the new team, making a great combination with Dylan Larkin and Tyler Bertuzzi.
Expert Betting Tips
Washington are off to a very good start to the season. Alexander Ovechkin, inspired by the new contract and gaining phenomenal form, is leading the team. It's unlikely Detroit can resist the likes of the Capitals. The Red Wings, while progressing, still have a lot of flaws in their game.
The prediction is a win for Washington.
