Seattle vs. Washington: NHL Match Prediction

Current form

Washington continues to be in excellent shape, consistently beating all competitors on its way. The team winning streak has already reached five games in a row, and almost all of them ended in regulation time. The team initially played away, where they met Nashville and left them no chance, defeating them with a score of 4:1. Goalkeeper Thompson made a huge contribution to the success, reflecting 32 shots out of 33. Returning to the home arena, the team played even more reliably and did not allow Anaheim to even score, winning dry (3:0). Thompson also defended the goal this time, making a shutout. It is also impossible not to mention forward Dwyer, who scored a goal and gave an assist. They managed to consolidate their success in an away match with Ottawa, where the capital also won dry, but in overtime (1:0). There were some minor difficulties with creating and converting attacking chances, but we managed to avoid losing points thanks to the proven performance of goalkeeper Thompson.

Then the Capitals returned to their home arena, where they fought with a problematic Pittsburgh and took advantage of its weak defense, fully demonstrating its attacking potential and winning with a score of 4:1. This time it is difficult to even single out any of the players, as many distinguished themselves with effective actions. Washington got their fifth victory with great difficulty. They had to go to visit a very serious opponent in the person of Edmonton, who showed a very reliable game throughout the match, but thanks to accurate throws they managed to snatch a victory in regular time (3:2). Thanks to such successful performances, the club not only retained its leadership in the Eastern Conference table, but also seriously strengthened its position. Now the advantage over the closest competitor is seven points.
