Washington Capitals in the NHL match on January 8 will meet with Ottawa Senators, and our experts delivered their prediction for their meeting. Senators did not win a single game last season against the Caps. Will they improve this time?
Washington Capitals
After two defeats of the Caps, two victories followed, one was against Carolina (4: 3) and San Jose (5: 4 OT). Both games were held in an equal battle, and at some points, luck was on the side of the Capitals, thanks to which they achieved success.
Not a single team for the entire season has managed to move the Capitals from the first line of the table. Recall that the men of Todd Reirden broke away from Boston by four points.
Ottawa Senators
Ottawa had a good two matches against Florida and Tampa and in each case had excellent chances to earn two points, but in the end, twice left with nothing.
Canadians lost to the Panthers with a score of 3: 6, and in the match with Lightning, they lost 3: 5, even while they led 3: 2 throughout that contest. Away performance of the Senators looks very weak since so far they have only five victories in 22 matches.
Washington Capitals vs Ottawa Senators prediction
The last two matches between the teams went with a total of more than 4.5. Washington is stronger than its rival in all aspects, both in defence and in the offence. Capitals should not have any serious difficulties, because Ottawa very rarely earns points in away matches and, moreover, is on a series of defeats. Our experts believe that the contest will be productive and the victory will go to the hosts.
