Minnesota - Washington: NHL match betting tip
On March 28, we will have a curious match in the NHL championship, in which Minnesota will take on Washington. The savages looked mediocre in previous meetings and suffered two defeats in a row, so they will try their best, even despite the status of the opponent. The Capitals have come off a four-game winning streak, but they're clearly not going to lose heart. What bet should be placed on the upcoming confrontation? You will learn about this from the betting tip
Command Analysis
Minnesota Wild
USACurrent form
Minnesota is currently on the seventh line of the Western Conference and has 85 points in its asset. The team continues to replace successful series with a series of failures and cannot find stability. Of course, it is unlikely to be outside the playoff zone in the near future, but it is already only six points away from relegation.
We emphasize that before that, the savages dealt with Seattle (4:0) and Buffalo (4:1) on their ice, after which they went on the road, where they were defeated by Dallas with a score of 0:3. Upon returning to the home arena, the club played against Vegas and also lost with a score of 1:5, scoring only one abandoned goal. The coaching staff decided to put Marc-Andre Fleury in place of Gustavsson for that match, but such a reshuffle did not play, because, despite 33 saves, the Canadian missed five times.
At the same time, in matches with leaders, the Wild often have problems creating and implementing chances, and they remain with less than three goals scored. Oddly enough, they score few goals even in the second half, when the game is played on the far benches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kaprizov, Eriksson Ek, Foligno and Chisholm will not be able to participate in the match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Minnesota has a 74:83 ratio in scoring and conceding goals in the third period.
- Savages win 47% of face-offs
Washington Capitals
USACurrent form
Washington continues to lead the Eastern Conference table and has already earned a combined 103 points. The team produces long winning streaks and makes do with rare single defeats. She has already made a comfortable reserve for herself in terms of points scored, so she can feel extremely comfortable and not be afraid to be in second place, unless, of course, she fails all the remaining matches.
It's almost impossible to believe this, because Ovechkin and company are still in excellent condition and winning match after match. Recently, the club was able to issue a series of four victorias. The Capitals defeated Detroit (4:1) and Philadelphia (3:2) on their ice, but after a successful match against Florida (6:3) they went on the road, where they lost to Winnipeg with a score of 2:3 in overtime. In that match, the Capitals, oddly enough, scored only two goals, although they usually open up the opponents' defense at least three or four times.
The capitals are playing very well on the road. So, for all the time they managed to win 19 victories within 60 minutes, and even with the worst odds, they usually allow the opponent to score no more than two or three goals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Milano, Oshie and Beckstrom will not participate in the upcoming meeting.
Interesting betting trends
- Washington holds an average of 19 power moves per match.
- According to statistics, the Capitals make 27 shots on target per game.

In the last two matches, the hosts lost in the second leg.
2.45Tip and bets
We believe that Washington will be stronger than its counterpart in the upcoming duel. The Capitals currently look much preferable to Minnesota and have been undefeated in regular time lately, while the Savages are facing a two-game losing streak. The previous meeting between the clubs ended in favor of the Wild, but then they were in a completely different condition. We think that even the support of the home stands will not help Hines' team earn points.
Betting Tip - Washington's victory in 2.10
Betting on an individual total
Washington has no problems creating and executing chances and is often distinguished by more than two dropped goals. The Capitals even try to play open hockey on the road and score at least three goals in meetings with many opponents. The savages conceded at least three times in the final two matches.
We bet on Washington's individual total of more than 2.5 goals for 1.60
Bet on the total total
Past meetings between the teams have been productive and usually took place with at least six goals scored. The savages have demonstrated mediocre defensive play in matches with the leaders throughout the season, so they will certainly rely on open hockey and look for their chances in counterattacks, so it makes sense to put more on total.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.95
