The NHL is well-known as one of the championships in which most of the teams have a very similar level between them, however, there are some clashes in which there’s a big favorite to win. In that regard, Washington Capitals will face Anaheim Ducks next Tuesday, January 14th, and even when the Capitals are considered as the huge favorites to win, it must be added that Anaheim Ducks will have nothing else to lose for this game.

With that in mind, Washington Capitals mustn’t show overconfidence throughout the game, not even when they’ll remain at the top spot of the Eastern Conference no mattering the result of this game is. Additionally, it must be noted that the Capitals are still highlighted as the best offensive in the Eastern Conference with 156 scored goals.

On Anaheim Ducks’ case, this team is still remarking as one of the worst in the Western Conference, but despite that fact they were able to cut off a streak of 3 losses in a row after their most recent overtime victory over Carolina Hurricanes (2-3). That result was truly unbelievable, but even so the Ducks aren’t expected to become a competitive team as they’re one of the worst offensive lines in the league with just 108 scored goals.
