Carolina Hurricanes vs Washington Capitals Prediction and Betting Tips (03.04.2025)

Command Analysis

Carolina Hurricanes

USA

Current form

Carolina is currently in second place in the conference and is unlikely to rise higher or fall lower in the Metropolitan Division table. Rod Brindamore's men scored 94 points in 73 games and intend to retain their role as Washington's main pursuer. In the second half of March, the hurricanes did not look too confident and alternated between victories and defeats. After returning home, the Raleigh club lost to Nashville (1-3), but quickly recovered in front of the fans and defeated Montreal (4-1) and the Islanders (6-4).

The Hurricanes play well offensively and regularly feature at least three times in a duel this spring. In the last six games, they scored only 21 accurate shots, although before that they scored a lot in every match. Sebastian Aho became the club's top scorer after the departure of Martin Nechas and Mikko Rantanen. The Finn scored 69 points (28+41) in the goal+pass system.

Disqualifications and injuries

William Carrier and Jesper Fast will not play against the Capitals. Jordan Staal's condition is questionable.

Interesting betting trends

Carolina gets 6.81 minutes of penalty time per match
According to statistics, the hosts allow only 25 shots to be thrown at their own goal.

Washington Capitals

USA

Current form

From the very beginning of the season, Washington began to show very strong results and quickly broke into the lead in the East. Now the team from the capital of the USA is confidently on the first line in the conference, having 105 points in its piggy bank after 74 matches. The team led by Spencer Carbery has pulled away from Carolina by 11 points and is unlikely to allow the hurricanes to catch up with them. The Capitals can compete for victory in the regular season with Winnipeg, which scored one point more. The capitals played poorly away and lost to Winnipeg (2:3, OT) and Minnesota (2:4), and then unexpectedly lost at home to Buffalo (5:8). In early April, they managed to beat Boston (4-3) away.

Alexander Ovechkin's squad plays great offensively throughout the regular season and scores 3.65 goals per match. The captain himself continues to chase Wayne Gretzky and is only a few accurate shots away from the legend's record. The home team's top scorer remains Dylan Strome, who scored 72 goals (24+48) using the goal+pass system.

Disqualifications and injuries

Niklas Backstrom, T.J. Oshie and Sonny Milano will not play in the next game.

Tip and bets

1.87Washington's victory

Carolina is gaining momentum and has won the last two matches on its ice. The hosts are again very good in attack, but this does not mean that the upcoming opponent will not be able to put up any resistance to the hurricanes. Washington is still firmly in the lead in the East and is capable of beating absolutely any team in the league. Spencer Carbery's team will not give up the first place in the conference, but it is important for them to beat the Hurricanes to maintain their self-confidence. We think that the guests will at least not lose out in the main role.

Our betting tip is that Washington will not lose in 1.87

2.03Washington has more than 2.5 pucks

Betting on an individual total

The Hurricanes were very good offensively, but they often forgot about their goal defense and conceded in large numbers. Washington is the most productive team in the league and rarely leaves the court without at least three accurate shots. We believe that the guests will easily register at least three accurate hits in the Role.

Betting Tip - Washington's individual total is more than 2.5 goals in 2.03

Bet on the total

Both teams play offensively and don't just try to sit out in their zone. Carolina's offense is in great shape again, and Washington has no problems realizing its chances throughout the regular season. We think that the opponents will shoot a lot at the goal and will score at least six goals for two. Let's play a bet on the total of more goals.

Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.85
