New York Rangers vs Washington Capitals Prediction & Picks - NHL

 by Edgar Jibran | in NHL Picks

The Presidents’ Cup champion, New York Rangers, is still unstoppable, and they were able to win their 2 first matches of the series against Washington Capitals, being a fact that their candidature for the NHL championship is one of the strongest due to the great quality they have on its lineup, and even when they aren’t one of the most spectacular teams in the league, their effectiveness is very high.

However, Washington Capitals had a good performance during the Game 2, when they were able to score first in the match, but their biggest mistakes during the series have been defensive, so they lost their advantage just 2 minutes after they took the lead. Another fact to take into consideration is that they conceded 6 powerplays during Game 2, quantity that reflects the frustration of a team that competed, but it wasn’t enough to win.

On the other side, New York Rangers showed to be a very mental strong team during Game 2 as they were able to score their fourth goal on numerical inferiority, so this is just another prove that this team is prepared to battle for the Stanley Cup, having a high collaboration from players like Trocheck, Zibanejad and Lafreniere during the playoffs with 3 points each one.

New York Rangers - Washington Capitals Key Points

  1. Washington Capitals hadn’t lost 2 consecutive matches in regular time since the beginning of April, frequency that reflects the big defensive inconsistencies this team has.
  2. New York Rangers scored more than 4 goals only in one of their last ten disputed matches, so in this first away match of the series they aren’t expected to be dominant.
  3. Washington Capitals in direct duels against NY Rangers, have a streak of 2 consecutive victories, but they haven’t scored more than 4 goals since February 2023.
  4. New York Rangers in face-to-face matches against Washington Capitals, were able to score more than 3 goals just in three of their last ten confrontations.

Our New York Rangers vs Washington Capitals Prediction

In conclusion, this match tends to be one of the less spectacular of the first round as both teams aren’t proficient when attacking, and also the urgency that the Capitals have to win during their first match at home of the series, could cause that both teams prefer to prioritize the defensive order from attacking, so the pick for Washington Capitals – New York Rangers is: Under 1.5 Goals During the First Period!
