Betting Tip
Both teams are playing very well lately but have a long way to go to secure a playoff berth yet. Things are more difficult for Vancouver who is not in the playoff picture but is only three points away from the spot that leads there.
Vancouver has won the last two games this season including a 4-2 win DC this January and are favourites in this one even more since the Capitals are finishing a three-game road trip in western Canada. However, the best option is to place a bet on under 5.5 goals since both teams are defensively oriented and usually there are not many goals in their matchups.
