The only NHL game that will take place next Thursday at 06:30 pm CST will feature the clash between the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins, teams from the Metropolitan Division that have practically delivered opposite performances this season. Despite this, the Capitals are just three points behind the Penguins, so a victory in this game could lower the pressure on Washington’s side.
However, it must be noted that despite having the best Eastern Conference defensive line, the Washington Capitals have just been able to end a four-game losing streak with their most recent 6-1 victory over the St. Louis Blues. With this in mind, the Capitals are expected to get into a positive loop during the following matchdays starting from this very tough road game against the Penguins.
Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Penguins aren’t really expected to last long in the top spots of the Eastern Conference, it being worth noting that they lost three of their last four games, including two very harmful games against the Winnipeg Jets and Toronto Maple Leafs. In this regard, it must be noted that the Penguins were only recently able to earn positive results against some of the lower-profile teams in the league, like the St. Louis Blues and Minnesota Wild.
