Washington has picked up only 3 points in the last 5 games, causing the team to drop to 6th place in the Metropolitan Division. Washington has one less game played, though, so the team can still overtake Philadelphia and get back into the playoff zone.
Carolina is in second place in the Metropolitan Division, the team is in great shape, having a series of 4 wins.
There is no clear favourite today, as any series in the NHL ends, and it is quite difficult to beat Washington on home ice. Bookmakers give good odds on totals, as Washington has a low performance, but today we expect to see at least 6 pucks.
Prediction: at least 6 goals to be scored. We recommend the "Over 6" bet, odds 1.98
