Next Tuesday night will bring with it a very attractive game to be disputed between the big favorites to win the Stanley Cup this season according to the bookmakers’ odds, Edmonton Oilers, and the top performers of the regular season, Washington Capitals. As can be seen, this game is expected to be spectacular as both teams are having a wonderful offensive performance.
When looking deeper at Edmonton Oilers’ performance, it’s undeniable that they had a wonderful recovery compared to the poor level they had during the beginning of the season, however they lost a streak of 4 victories in a row after their most recent loss against Vancouver Canucks (3-2). Even so, they’re expected to carry on with the same offensive and defensive tactics, as it’s well known that keeping an unbeatable streak is very complicated in the NHL.
On Washington Capitals’ case, this team is the biggest outsider in the current NHL season, but despite that, they mustn’t be overconfident as the most important games are upcoming and winning the Presidents’ Cup doesn’t guarantee to win the Stanley Cup by the end of the season. Taking that into consideration, one of the biggest tasks for the Capitals is keeping the great defensive level, as they haven’t conceded more than 2 goals since their 4-3 OT loss against Buffalo Sabres on January 06th.
